[dmd-internals] automated merging, a status update

[Brad Roberts]

Since this was turned on, here's the pulls that have automatically occurred.  Yay!

(2 others that I don't have the logs for, oops)

(Where's the phobos guys.. everyone asleep still?)

Currently the pace of merging is bottle necked by the slowest platform, the freebsd's.  The current 
merge criteria is that all platforms must successfully complete a run.  I'm considering changing 
that to something a little less conservative, like:

   1) 5-ish platforms must have successfully re-built against the current master
   and
   2) all platforms must have successfully built with _a_ master + the current pull sha  (ie, 
results for out of date commits are ignored)

Too conservative still?  Not strict enough?

I'm also considering a build ordering change.  Right now master branch build have priority over pull 
builds.  What do you guys think about moving the priority to:

   1) pending merges
   2) master branch
   3) other pulls

This will eliminate a good number of builds that cost considerable time, at the potential of not 
discovering a master break quite as quickly.

Give me your thoughts on both changes.

Thanks,
Brad
