This is a good suggestion. I kind of remember that when working in SVN
you could request a particular build from a particular branch. If that
was true, we should consider something similar with mercurial. I am
offline and can't check, thought.

In fact I am thinking about being able to push a "patch" to the
buildbots and, if the patch applies cleanly to the branch tip, actually
apply it, build & test.

That would be amazing, security aside :).
