Thanks for your reply.

If this is slave behavior, how can I adjust it without actually changing
buildbot code?  I was hoping to define a subclass of something (anything)
in my master.cfg.  Was that too much to expect?

I will look at the code, but as I wrote I very much doubt that the
string returned as got_revision can be used to reset the source to the
same state.  And I only use a web change hook as a change source, and
the push script doesn't pass a revision anyway (for the same reasons),
so I won't be any worse off there.
