I don't know much about it's internals either. I just use it, and don't
have to maintain it. It happens to be written in Java, and can integrate
with other programming languages. So it's a counter argument for
Smalltalk being a island on its own.

I had initially set the build server to keep the last N=10 builds. It
actually keeps N builds, plus the last successful one, if none of the
last N were successful. I reduced it to 5 builds to reduce disk space
usage; also, I found old builds had little use.
