Yeah, sorry about that :-(.

On a side note, I was talking to mjw the other day about setting up
"special try branches" for some people.  I still don't know how that
would work internally on BuildBot, but it would address this problem of
testing several commits.

A problem I foresee with this approach is the extra load on the slaves;
some of them are already working around the clock to keep up.  Anyway, I
don't want to hijack the thread, just wanted to say something related to
what happened.

Before I get crucified because of the "spam" generated: each breakage
e-mail is related to one specific builder.  Sometimes a breakage happens
only on e.g. ARM, so you'd get e-mails just for this architecture.
Anyway, sorry about the number of messages; it's currently not possible
to merge all of the reports into one single message, although it may be
possible to thread them.  Unfortunately I don't have time right now to
look into this, but we don't have a lot of breakages anyway...
