and for the "isolate file" thing you can use git ignore file (help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files) and commit it, it will start ignoring any changes to the build fie. But as suggested you need to start implementing environment variables for a dynamic and scalable approach.

Thanks. I had considered the env. var thing, but I want to keep as much code out of jenkins as possible which is where i'd have to set the vars before build. Perforce does the isolate thing, that's where I got it from, and github does it with CODEOWNERS. As for b, that's the route I'm currently going now, I have my build.xml in a dir for each build (dev-ops_repo\QA-build\build.xml), but it doesn't seem like it's going to scale too well.
