[Buildbot-devel] override revision being checked out

[Jared Grubb]

If you have one git checkout in a build, then you’re fine.

If you have more than one git checkout in the same build, you need to organize them via codebases; this is the mechanism that buildbot uses to track multiple source repos in the same builder.
