[Xen-devel] [OSSTEST PATCH 2/2] cr-daily-branch: Make sg-report-flight ignore bisections

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

sg-report-flight when testing X' (with a baseline of X) can justify a
failure of T(X',Y,Z) with a bisection failure of T(X,Y'',Z).

If Y'' breaks T then this makes it look to sg-report-flight like T was
already broken in X; cr-daily-branch could then push X' even though it
is actually broken.

This happened rarely, because cr-daily-branch's sg-report-flight would
only look at flights on the right branch, so only a bisection of T on
that branch can cause this, but nevertheless this can produce bad
pushes.

So: have cr-daily-branch pass a --blessings option to cr-daily-branch,
so that it only looks at (usually) `real' rather than the default of
`real' and also `real-bisect'.

An alternative, more complicated, approach would be for
sg-report-flight to compare versions of Y, Z, et al, when looking for
justifications, but I'm not sure this is desirable because it would
effectively reset the heisenbug compensator each time any other tree
changed.
