New description:

 Have the revlink callables accept a full sourcestamp resource so it
 handles the following case:

 using a mercurial repository with a configuration like the following:


 {{{
 c['schedulers'].append(ForceScheduler(
                             name="force-windows64",
                             builderNames=["Build Windows64"],
                             codebases = { CodebaseParameter('', branch =
 ChoiceStringParameter(name="branch", choices=["buildbot", "buildbot-
 trunk", "trunk"], default="buildbot"),
                                 repository =
 FixedParameter(name="repository", default=hgrepo))}))
 }}}


 using directory branches, generate the revlink (in this case the version-
 control display system requires the branch name in the path, not specify
 in hgrepo but selected via ui)

Comment:

 Per #984, we'll be deprecating the revlink feature in favor of supplying
 proper links in the change source.
