Well, being directive and giving strong workflow indications seems to
be what many people are expecting of "us" (aka Georg, I, and the few
other people involved in writing the hg version of the devguide).

The buildbot hook must then also be changed to only consider
the changegroup heads. It should be quite simple except that modified
files must be computed accross the whole bunch of ancestor changsets in
the changegroup (should be doable in the same step that computes the
heads).

Both the hooks and the devguide are modifiable by anyone (*), of course.
