[webkit-dev] Commits in branches triggering build in the bots now

[Lucas Forschler]

Hi Carlos!

It looks like there are a mix of issues here… 

First… the old svn commit hook never sent along changes to buildbot for anything that wasn’t in “trunk” or “branches”. 
So, the fact you were not getting triggers for anything outside of these branches was an error in the previous version of the script. I’m a bit shocked this is just now being discovered… we must never have had a builder working against anything other than “trunk" or “branches”.

Moving forward:

The new svn_buildbot.py does properly send along changes to any branch. However, it looks like it has a few problems, which I plan to fix up. 

I’m about to fix the hook, and thus should get appropriate branch name passed along to buildbot from the commit hook. (Right now, trunk and branch commits also get ‘None’)

I think your code change below should also be landed. But not until the post-commit hook is fixed, otherwise I believe no changes will be triggered.
