 http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/Scheduling-Builds.html uses a
 number of terms that are neither defined by that point in the document nor
 linked to any kind of explanation.


 >  You could have a “quick” scheduler which used a 30 second
 '''timeout''', and feeds a single “quick” Builder that uses a VC
 '''mode='update'''' setting.
 >
 > A separate “full” scheduler would run more comprehensive tests a little
 while later, to catch more subtle problems. This scheduler would have a
 longer '''tree-stable-timer''', maybe 30 minutes, and would feed multiple
 Builders (with a '''mode= of 'copy', 'clobber', or 'export'''').
 >
 > The tree-stable-timer and '''fileIsImportant''' decisions are made by
 the Scheduler.
 I think I've guessed what these things are, but it took some mental
 gymnastics that you could have spared me by introducing the ideas more
 carefully.
