gitignore for JENKINS_HOME Jenkins settings (#1763)

* gitignore for JENKINS_HOME Jenkins settings

This allows an admin to use git to keep a backup of Jenkins settings
without tracking binary artifacts.  Useful for preserving settings during
plugin upgrades.

Note: secret.key is purposefully not tracked by git.  This should be
backed up separately because configs may contain secrets which were
encrypted using the secret.key.

#ignore all JENKINS_HOME except jobs directory, root xml config, and .gitignore file
/*
!/jobs
!/.gitignore
!/*.xml

#ignore all files in jobs subdirectories except for folders
#note: git doesn't track folders, only file content
jobs/**
!jobs/**/

#uncomment the following line to save next build numbers with config
#!jobs/**/nextBuildNumber

#exclude only config.xml files in repository subdirectories
!config.xml

#don't track workspaces (when users build on the master)
jobs/**/*workspace

#as a result only settings and job config.xml files in JENKINS_HOME will be tracked by git
