A new version of this branch was pushed into the stable-queue git
repository around 10:30 PST, AFAICS without any actual changes.
This caused all my builders to start from scratch (again).
Would it be possible to avoid such dummy pushes ?

Thanks,
Guenter

I'll try to avoid it, but it is usually easier for me to do "generate
all -rcs and push them out", than do to them individually, which is why
this happened.
