[Buildbot-devel] Problems adding a SvnSource poller

Hi

I tried to add a SvnSource to poll subversion repositories.
Basing my work on the P4Poll I added 
- documentation in the buildbot.texinfo
- adapted svnpoller to use the XML-file format and made all its 
- unittest pass. I tweaked the unit test quite a bit and I am not
  sure if everything is okay, as I still have only a limited 
  understand on how the whole buildbot works.
- played with a simple master.cfg, as explained in the texinfo
  example, fixed a few errors in svnpoller and the unittests

Now it has the following errors:
- After each starting of the master a build is scheduled.
- Every second poll interval a build is scheduled.

If anybody could help me how I can find this bug. How can I debug what does 
trigger a build? (I already added a log.msg before addChange). I do not want 
to submit (officially) the patch until I have ironed out this error. How can 
I add a testcase for this problem? Is worth?

The code still has a few log.msg too much. Any feedback about this patch would 
be appreciated.

Best regards
