[OpenAFS-devel] Buildbot suggestions: gerrit messages, stdio

Now that buildbot is working a bit better, can we start the feature
creep? ;) I have a couple of requests:

 - IIRC we don't want URLs in the messages submitted to gerrit because
   gerrit comments are forever and the URLs can (will?) change. However,
   can we get a build number, or some other identifying piece of
   information for failed/succeeded builds? I'm not aware of an easy way
   to find the details for a failed build right now if it's not in the
   20 most recent builds; I have to go through the builds one-by-one to
   find the one that built the changeset I'm looking for.

 - The 'stdio' output for the compilation step tends to be huge, and for
   most failed builds I'm only interested in the last bit of it. Can the
   buildbot web interface gain the ability to only show me the last N
   lines? Or is there another way of getting this output?
