[Buildbot-devel] git branch support

[Brian Fallik]

Chad,

Hvve you seen buildbot ticket 340 [1]?  We're also having trouble
checking out a git branch, and I believe that bug is related.  My ugly
workaround was to download the branch delta (the addition of a single
file) via the FileDownload mechanism.  I doubt that's scalable for
most situations though.

Thanks,
brian
