My repo is at http://hg.swatinem.de/tbpl-server/
It has been bitrotting for 2 month now so there is a lot of catching up to do.
The php code is quite ugly as well :D

As per mail, trying a nosql solution would be interesting. Doing a query like "give me at least X pushes older than Y on each branch with the associated jobs" for multi-branch trees is very ugly with SQL.

I would propose the following incremental plan to get this stuff integrated:

(0. I've already separated the UI changes I did)
1. Abstract the Datasource into 2 parts: history and updates (with tree status) (or 3 parts, where the tree status is just loaded once and then updated via "update")
  - The update datasource is polled every minute or so, the history datasource on scrolling.
2. Move the comments off of Tinderbox
  - One thing about parsing only the recent tinderbox on the server is that comments to older jobs won't be recognized. Having the comments on tbpl-server would be better and would also allow distributing them on "update"
3. Actually implement a more cleaner server solution than the hacky one I did :D
  - Getting better in-progress build details would be cool, I currently don't support this because of missing scrapes for in-progress builds.
4. Sheriff and Tree description on the server.

We've since done this.
