The buildbots are sometimes subject to a flood of "svn exception" errors. It has been conjectured that these errors are caused by Web crawlers pressing "force build" buttons without filling any of the fields (of course, the fact that we get such ugly errors in the buildbot results, rather than a clean error message when pressing the button, is a buildbot bug in itself). Couldn't we simply exclude all crawlers from the buildbot Web pages?

I caused a few of those myself yesterday updating my PPC buildbots.

Apologies!

Bill
