Why do we need a separate repo? Can we not simply close the broken head
and start again at the last green changeset?
Multiheaded repos are evil. They're very hard to deal with, and I don't
think that buildbot can deal with them properly. Also, they cannot be
represented in git, which means that they will break the git mirror.
