Every repository must have a type associated to it. For example, if you create a repository that will link to a GitHub repository, then the repository type must be set to Git.
Once a repository has been given a type, more repository type specific properties will be added to the repository dialog via the tabs at the top of the dialog. When creating a repository, if you change the repository type then the repository properties will also change to reflect the new type.
Note that you can only change the repository type when creating a new repository. You cannot change the repository type when you are editing an existing repository.

Excluded Patterns tab
This tab allows you to specify patterns to match changesets that you want to exclude. The changeset will only be excluded if all modified files match one or more of the patterns. Type each pattern on a new line using the ANT pattern format.
Downtime tab
One or more repository downtime schedules can be specified in this tab. During these times the repository is unavailable to Continua CI and will not checked for changes. You may specify a downtime period to apply every day, on weekdays, on weekends or on a specific day of the week.
Note: All times are in 24 hour format and are localised to the server's time.
