 Hi,

 so first of all thanks for buildbot, I like it and it's helpful :-) And
 now to the actual comments.

 I am a working on a software development project for a scientific
 simulation code. We use buildbot to run a testsuite including compilation
 of our project and execution of some test runs (sort of basic regression
 tests). The testsuite is executed on an HPC cluster at a university
 computing center. Consequently we only want to execute the testsuite, if
 there are changes to the source code of the project, but not, if a commit
 only changes e.g. the doxygen configuration file, or some other part that
 is not directly related to the actual code base. Otherwise, we'd waste
 precious HPC resources and risk making the computing centre people real
 angry ;-)

 Thus, from my limited user's point of view, I'd simply expect to trigger
 buildbot, whenever a commit includes those parts SVNPoller is watching.
 Something wrong with this POV?

 Cheers
 Marcus
