[Buildbot-devel] triggering builds based on git tags

[Amber Yust]

If you don't want to/can't install buildbot on the Git machine, you might be
able to run the buildbot sendchange command via ssh on the master machine
(though you'd need some way of non-interactive authentication, such as
pub/priv keys).
