#2499: PBChangeSource doesn't drop changes when no files start with `prefix`
----------------------+-----------------------

 Before asking on IRC, setting prefix on PBChangeSource was the only way I
 knew to drop unwanted changes. I'll use ChangeFilter now, but I'm still
 reporting what seems to be a bug.

 When looking at a change url (eg. /changes/3124) for a commit not in the
 PBChangeSource prefix, I see the svn commiter, the svn revision, the
 changed at date, the category (None), and the commit message. I also see
 the changed files: "no files".

 However, the commit still triggers a rebuild, which is confusing given the
 doc:

 > If all the filenames in a given Change are removed, the that whole
 Change will be dropped.

 Thanks for buildbot! :)
