Details

In an effort to make try builds complete much faster, we should do the following:

When a patch (or series of patches) are pushed to tryserver, tryserver should look at the base of the series and see what the parent changeset was. It should then request the obj-dir of the build for that changeset from its respective build server. Using that obj-dir, tryserver can apply those changesets and get an incremental build.

Are we storing obj-dirs of builds? This would take up a lot more server space but storage is cheap, right?

Secondly, the obj-dirs would need to be transferable to the tryserver machines, which would mean they need the same hardware setup so the machine code is compatible/build-resumable.

Armen, is something like this possible?
