let darcs_buildbot send a branch

[keturn]

darcs_buildbot should have some way of specifying a branch when it sends changes. A command line parameter would probably work. In my configuration, I'd like the branch to beos.path.basename(os.getcwd()).

The thing that's holding me back from cooking up a patch soon is that I'm running 0.7.5, and will be until there's a repository with new .debs. darcs_buildbot has changed significantly since 0.7.5. Will darcs_buildbot from HEAD run on older 0.7.5?

no progress on this yet, bumping to 0.7.8

no progress, bumping to 0.7.9 . FYI, 0.7.7 is in debian/sid now, and I'm sure 0.7.6 must be in hardy. The protocol that darcs_buildbot uses hasn't changed in forever, there shouldn't be too many version skew concerns there.

I'm ignorant about darcs, but isn't "branch" = "repo" in darcs? That is, specifying a branch is really the same thing as specifying a repo?
