Properties passed in via a trigger scheduler will have have the source set as "Trigger", so it may be sufficient simply to copy through only properties that match this source. Copying all properties is probably a bad idea, so I need some sort of limiter.

I don't like this idea much at all -- that source info is just meant
as a user-level debugging aid (since there are a half-dozen places
properties can come from).

The Right solution here is to save the original build request and
submit a copy of it on a rebuild request.
