[Buildbot-devel] Change doesn't start a build

[Justin Mason]

I'm not sure about this -- I haven't checked recently -- but at least in
buildbot 0.6.1 to 0.6.4, the prefix can only match on single components
(directory names) in the path, not on multiple components of the path, since
the path is split into components before matching.  That was the case for the
FreshCVS change source iirc, and therefore may be the case for PBChangeSource,
too. 

I reported this when I submitted my svn-commit.pl change source patch
back in 0.6.1...
