[Buildbot-devel] Mercurial Forest and Buildbot?

[Axel Hecht]

I guess you're going to hit the major weekness of the current design of
buildbot, that it's really only tuned to look at one changesource per build.
Not sure if it's hacky enough to make a forest look like just one, I haven't
really looked at the forest extension to any significant detail myself yet.

I haven't dug into
http://wiki.github.com/djmitche/buildbot/current-statusenough yet if
shimmering one-oh is gonna help here ad-hoc.
