[Buildbot-devel] upcoming release

Not super common, but not frowned on either. Subversion creates .svn
directories throughout the source tree, and also sets the "hidden"
attribute (since windows doesn't hide dot directories from you). The
appdata thing should work great for the account-wide default, but
there is no reason to avoid looking for the .buildbot directory in a
project specific directory even on windows.

Nope, the %-% should be dropped. Percent signs what the windows shell
uses instead of $ to refer to environment variables - you don't need
'em when working with os.environ.
