In the job strategy the regex is "*/jobs//config.xml". But when the scm-sync-plugin have already synced some jobs then there is config files under scm-sync-configuration/checkoutConfiguration/jobs/*/config.xml. Those files will be catch by this regex making some kind of recursive sync and increasing the number of sync files really quickly.
I do not know why it actually did not happen from the beginning, but in our case the "recursive issue" happens only after we add manual sync path to the plugin.
