Continuous testing of feature branching model workflow in Jenkins

Interesting approach:

I liked following idea:

unfortunately this plugin does not support GIT, so smth should be created for GIT ...

list of all triggers for Jenkins is here.

there is a problem with idea of testing of all branches :
jenkins will show latest status of build it most likely to be topic branch - ever red jenkins is not a good approach as topic branch is designed for keeping incomplete changes and they will always exists .

so Jenkins somehow need to show status only from main branch all other are just for information, in other words aggregation of statuses or custom rule to make global status base on set of branches ..... new plugin :) .

Approach of how to ignore some branches in jenkins by regex
