[users at bb.net] Perform build far last change if there are no new changes.

[Dubelaar, Bart]

Dear list,

We have our nightly build set up with a Timed.Nightly configured with OnlyIfChanged=True.
Using this setup Buildbot will link the build to a certain revision and it will show the delta of changes since the previous build. This is a very handy feature. Which helps the testers to identify what has been build.
The drawback is, that if there are no changes, the build will not run. In some cases this is in convenient because we can use the additional test results (for instance when there were issues with our build environment in earlier runs).

Is there a way to make the Timed.Nightly perform a build, even if there are no changes detected? Some kind of fallback scenario?

Kind regards,
Bart
