[Buildbot-devel] Added change revision from one git repo for another

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

I am using buildbot 0.8.4p2 installed on a RHEL machine (x86_64) using
git-1.7.1-2. Whenever I commit to one of the git project repos that
has been added to buildbot, it starts a trigger of all the project
builds (everything fails, and it continues to create more jobs)! The
master/twistd.log is show below:

=== master/twistd.log ===

2011-07-28 18:08:32+0530 [-] gitpoller: repo poll failed

Change(revision=u'328fd6dda280018180945b8295d717c24da4eb04',

2011-07-28 18:08:32+0530 [-] added buildset 850 to database

=== END ===

The change revision occurred in a different repo than the
'unrelated-project.git' repo as show above. What could cause this?

Appreciate any inputs in this regard,

SK
