The situation might have changed since then, I don't know.
Yes, the main issue is that it insisted on doing fresh clones from scratch, for example whenever we tested a different branch. That's not a problem for small projects, but for PyPy that's a "definitely not". That's why it's written as a series of shell commands that call hg. (And based on the results, I'm not sure I understand why buildbot needs special "hg support" or "git support"; it's just more flexible to call the shell commands you want.)
