Log Message:
Revision: arch at buildbot.sf.net--2004/buildbot--dev--0--patch-287
Creator:  Brian Warner <warner at monolith.lothar.com>

rewrite test_vc, make 'try' work for Darcs

	* buildbot/scripts/tryclient.py (getSourceStamp): extract branches
	where we can (Arch), add a branch= argument to set the branch used
	when we can't
	(BazExtractor): extract the branch too
	(TlaExtractor): same
	* buildbot/scripts/runner.py (TryOptions): add --branch
	* docs/buildbot.texinfo (try): document --branch/try_branch

	* buildbot/slave/commands.py (Darcs): implement get-revision for
	Darcs, so that 'try' will work. This requires the tempfile module
	from python-2.3 .

	* buildbot/test/test_vc.py: rewrite tests, getting better coverage
	of revisions, branches, and 'try' in the process.

+ at heading determining the branch name
+
+Some VC systems record the branch information in a way that ``try''
+can locate it, in particular Arch (both @command{tla} and
+ at command{baz}). For the others, if you are using something other than
+the default branch, you will have to tell the buildbot which branch
+your tree is using. You can do this with either the @option{--branch}
+argument, or a @option{try_branch} entry in the
+ at file{.buildbot/options} file.

 Each VC system has a separate approach for determining the tree's base
