The code can build and report on any branch that exists in the upstream 
repository. But I don't want to accept reports on private branches on 
the buildfarm server, at least on the dashboard. It's a subject worth 
thinking about, though.

The branches that are built are controlled by the client owners, not by 
me. That's the way things are in a distributed world -;)
