I have added a PBChangeSource
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/PBChangeSource.html
and then use buildbot sendchange
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/sendchange.html
I only use PBChangeSource, since I use the mercurial hooks to
populate the builder, but you can have a list of ChangeSources
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/Configuring-Change-Sources.html

You can then "fake" a change from someone, on some branch,
for particular files. Make sure you use a revision number that
actually already exists in the repository.

Cheers,
