[Buildbot-devel] Triggered builds and git tags

[Dan Kegel]

FWIW, I noticed that if you have two tags at the same commit,
'git describe' will pick one of the two at random.

But I don't think that's what was happening here, all the tags on this
tree are distinct.

Hopefully it was just a brain fart.
