Seen this, yay. And pushed a few commits on top.

Indeed I find it too vague so I've rephrased this paragraph (414e4f3),
and added (414e4f3) another requirement:
* if applicable, the commit at which the base branch was at, when it
was merged into the branch being built;
(because we need to run the test suite not from the commit on the
topic branch, but on the result of merging its base branch into the
topic branch at that commit)
IIRC I've made it so the build log contains that information, and if
the build scripts need adjustements to make it easier to retrieve from
Jenkins (e.g. logging it in a machine-parsable format), let me know,
I'll be happy to follow-up on this.

Cool. Seems like we'll need to pass at least two such pieces of info.

Good.
Now, it would be good to have feedback from other contributors, in
particular those who will be directly affected. Let's schedule
a session to look into this at the summit, shall we?
