 Several issues, some may be in my misunderstanding how to use it.

 .buildbot/options

 try_connect = 'pb'
 try_vc = 'hg'
 try_master = '....'
 try_username = '...'
 try_password = '...'
 try_builders = ['... Smoke Build']

 1) try client calls "hg diff" in working repository. If there are no
 uncommitted changes, there is no output.  Should "try" fail at the client
 if there are no changes? Or at least inform the user?

 2) The build step that try invokes is:

 hgUpdateStep = Mercurial(repourl = RepoURL)

 RepoURL is the master repository that the working repository was cloned
 from.

 This fails at the buildslave at:

 hg.exe update --clean --repository <build_slave_path>\build --rev
 <workdir_revision_hash>

 ...

 abort: unknown revision '<workdir_revision_hash>'!

 IT seems we are not applying the patch as the hg command above expects the
 build slave repository (which was cloned from the master repo) to be
 update-able to the working directory. Something is missing or not working.

 3) So if I have the use-case correct, only uncommitted changes get "tried"
 in the above scenario. Our workflow is such that we clone from the master
 repo and commit many times in the working repo. Then a "hg push" is done
 from the working to the master after smoke test passes. I need "buildbot
 try" to interrogate the master repo, then "hg diff -r master_rev -r
 working_tip" to get the difference between the master and working repos.
 Then try those changes. Is this possible?

 Thanks,

 Brian
