I continue to mess up the try: syntax.  Even if the syntax were totally intuitive, there are still plenty of ways for me to screw up -- most recently, I forgot the "try:"!

Why not have a pre-commit hook *ask* what builds you'd like to run?  This might solve lots of usability issues all at once.

This might not be that hard to do if the commit hook just changed the commit message to the appropriate syntax.

http://hg.mozilla.org/users/khuey_kylehuey.com/push2try/file/833a4be2c34a/push2try.py is 90% of an hg extension to do this.

it is, however, a reimplementation of the code.  That makes it easier for this script to drift from what is actually happening.

Agreed.  It's also something that people have to install and keep up to date.

otoh, we already have qimportbz and qexportbz.

http://people.mozilla.org/~lsblakk/trychooser/trychooser.html  might help while we continue to work on an improved dashboard/checkin hook.

Not knowing about khuey's implementation, I wrote my own: https://hg.mozilla.org/users/pbiggar_mozilla.com/trychooser/. Does the same, but uses an interactive prompt rather than a file (I think I like the file better).

Thanks to pbiggar's extension I believe we can call this fixed.
