Hey,

sorry can't give you a dry cut answer. I do have a few pointers for when 
we needed to fetch a previous build.

Have a look at: `getPreviousBuild` from:
https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/blob/master/master/buildbot/reporters/utils.py

Over at scummvm we use a custom reporter which compares the current 
build to the last one on master branch.

Here is our vendorized `getPreviousBuild`:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm-sites/blob/director-buildbot/director/vendor/reporter_utils.py

Note: we're on 2.8.4

Regards,

Roland
