svn revision numbers in email headers

[ipv6guru]

I asked about this on python-dev, and MvL suggested asking the buildbot developers directly. Here's the feature request (and rationale) I sent to python-dev.

"Would it be possible to get the buildbot error message subject lines to include the svn revision number of the build that failed?

I committed some non-portable tests earlier today, but they should all be fixed in rev 45687. However, the various buildbots are still working through the different checkins that: a) included tests that weren't reliably correct on all platforms b) reverted the unreliable tests c) checked in more reliable tests that should work everywhere

Until I open the message, click through to the details page and scroll down to the record of the svn update step, I don't actually know whether the buildbot is reporting a real problem or not."
