I also like the peace of mind of clean full checkout daily builds. For this to be really useful, Bamboo will need to collect the source control changes between the previous clean build and the current clean build. Currently Bamboo does not capture source control changes when the build files are manually removed. BAM-1356 was raised as improvement to collect build changes for full checkout/clean builds.

1) "remove build files before every build". Every build will be a clean full checkout build.
2) "remove build files at <cron like expression> before build". This would allow the build files to be removed once a day, every other day, once a week, etc. Clean full checkout builds would occur when the cron like expression is satisfied and incremental checkout builds would occur otherwise.

When the build files are removed based on the above options, set a piece of metadata to indicate this build was a clean full checkout build.

Thanks!

This should now be possible through a checkbox. Bamboo will add repository.common.cleanCheckout=true to the customDataMap for each clean build.

I've created BAM-2387 to track more complex conditions for clearing but if a clean build has occurred.

2.0-beta7 which should be out next Tuesday.
