Currently, branches are not supported, because buildbot is
somewhat limited. When I get a solution for this problem,
I plan to have all buildbots build both the trunk and the
2.4 branch; such builds would only be initiated whenever
something is committed on the branch.

AFAICT, this assumes Vixie cron, which is fine for Linux,
but I don't think it would work on, say, Solaris (atleast
I couldn't find anything in the documentation of Solaris
cron that suggests "@reboot" lines are supported).
