[Buildbot-devel] Multiple work directories based on branch causes SVN clobber

[Amber Yust]

I've committed a fairly similar patch upstream:

https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/commit/f48acab953ff83be6417bea9ac9a0601b57fb821

<https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/commit/f48acab953ff83be6417bea9ac9a0601b57fb821>It
uses a base64 encoded version of the source directory instead of doing
replace stuff, but other than that it's basically the same idea.
