Generally a build failure with a particular commit cannot be fixed except
by changing that commit. Changing the commit will automatically cause
buildman to retry when you run it again: buildman sees that the commit
hash is different and that it has no previous build result for the new
commit hash.
However sometimes the build failure is due to a toolchain issue or some
other environment problem. In that case, retrying failed builds may yield
a different result.
Add a flag to retry failed builds. This differs from the force rebuild
flag (-f) in that it will not rebuild commits which are already marked as
succeeded.

Add an option to specify the output directory to override the
default path '../'. This is useful for building in a ramdisk.

Conflicting tags can prevent buildman from building two series which exist
one after the other in a branch. There is no reason not to allow this sort
of workflow with buildman, so ignore conflicting tags in buildman.

This tool handles building U-Boot to check that you have not broken it
with your patch series. It can build each individual commit and report
which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It also
shows differences in image sizes due to particular commits.
Buildman aims to make full use of multi-processor machines.
Documentation and caveats are in tools/buildman/README.
