Comment:

 I would start by comparing your {{{start}}} impl with that of the SVN
 steps in 0.8.2.

 You've run across a fundamental problem with Buildbot that will take some
 time to fix.  Jacob summed it up nicely at
 http://jacobian.org/writing/buildbot/ci-is-hard/: Buildbot is a framework,
 not an app.  But Buildbot doesn't have a well-defined API.  We've never
 written down what you should and should not override in a buildstep, much
 less a Source buildstep.  If we tried to write such a thing down, it would
 be highly contentious and probably still break a lot of custom
 configurations.
