Comment (by tom.prince):
While this sounds interesting, I think it is outside the scope of buildbot
proper. One difficulty is that buildbot's data model doesn't support a
sourcestamp having multiple branches, so that there is no way to
communicate to the source step that it should check out multiple branches.
There is also the issue of how to handle merge conflicts
One way to handle this would be to follow what github does with pull
requests. For each pull request, github exposes two heads, one for the tip
of the pull request, and one for the result of merging it (assuming that
it merges cleanly).
