We tried using the Hudson git plugin that you can download from the
Hudson site and ended up with problems--whether we had too many branches
or something, the plugin has some funny "figure out what needs to be
built" logic that issued near-constant git rev-list commands. To the
point where our own "git fetch" calls would get starved for 20-30
seconds.

We eventually wrote our own Hudson git plugin that is simpler and
doesn't do any funny rev-listing/walking. It just stores last hash
built and rebuilds once that doesn't match the branch tip. Once that
was in place, it worked great.

I've got permission to publish it if you're interested--just haven't
yet.
