Not opposed, but what does this do for creating or changing existing 
jobs?  Do we have to do it outside of jenkins?  Do we simply make 
changes in a git checkout, submit them, then they get pushed live 
automatically?

IOW, I think we need to map out exactly how things are supposed to get 
updated.  I don't think we want people to have to change things in 3 
different places.  We'll end up with some changes in git that aren't in 
the live jenkins, some that aren't in git, but are live.

Also, what about new job development?  Is that done through jenkins and 
then somehow exported into the git repo?  New jobs can take many 
iterations to get *right*.

I know I haven't been involved, but was something like this[1] discussed 
or evaluated?
