Hi webkit-dev,

I'm going to be in Canada next week for USENIX Security, so I won't be
able to run the commit-queue script.  If you'd like to try your hand
at running the script, I've attached it to this email.  I need to
re-write it in python so we can check it into the WebKitTools/Scripts
directory.

The commit-queue isn't polished yet, so you should be prepared to do a
little hand holding with the script.  The three main issues to be
aware of are as follows:

1) The script takes over the working copy to apply patches, build, and
test.  I've been running it from a dedicated working copy so I can be
productive while it runs.

2) The script is tries to be conservative in actually committing to
the repository.  That means if someone else commits to the same
top-level directory during the build / test cycle, the script won't
actually pull the commit trigger.  It will just try to land the patch
again in the next cycle.  We might want to experiment with being
slightly more aggressive here.

3) If a patch is bad (doesn't apply cleanly, doesn't build, doesn't
pass all the tests), the script won't r- the patch automatically.  It
will just diligently try to land the patch each cycle.  You should pay
some attention when a patch fails and update the bug appropriately.
One clear next step is to update the tool to set the commit-queue-
flag when a patch fails.

Other than that, you just need to watch the builtbots to make sure you
didn't destroy the tree.  :)

P.S., Protip: If you want to see which bugs are in the queue, you can
run ./WebKitTools/Scripts/bugzilla-tool bugs-to-commit or use this
(slightly less precise) Bugzilla query:
