 implement an argument like `clobberOnBranchChange=False`.  This would
 apply to `mode=incremental` as well as many of the methods in `mode=full`.

 right that it applies to both modes, and multiple behaviors.

 Okay, that name makes sense.  I can implement the other missing stuff,
 too.  Unfortunately, I'm quite busy, so I can't promise any sort of
 timeline; we'll see when I get to it.  (Anyone else should feel free to
 jump in... I'll add a comment when I actually start working so we don't
 duplicate effort.)

 In the meantime, [attachment:buildbot-slave-0.8.3-svn_switch.patch] was
 buggy, so anyone with permissions can go ahead and delete it.  I've
 actually used [attachment:buildbot-slave-0.8.3-svn_switch-
 actually_works.patch], which I'll attach in a moment, so if someone out
 there is looking for this functionality slave-side it's a better bet.
