Just for reference, after a quick glance at this, it's close to but
not quite verbatim usable by bunsen:

- the .xz compression/extension would interfere with extension based
  matching

- separating the .log and .sum files into different directories stops
  bunsen's crossmatching of the two; bunsen can accept the build tree
  raw locations of these files, without the "sumfiles" / "00-sumfiles"
  type of reorg

- for buildbot builds on sourceware, we collect & parse the autoconf
  config.log files as first class content, rather than just informal
  console logs

- bunsen would love to receive metadata about the build in little
  .bunsen.FOO text files, e.g. see:
  https://sourceware.org/git/?p=bunsendb.git;a=commit;h=613dd3b381b0910ebd5036fcf42761e2cead12ee


I assume you had good reasons for .xz compressing these files inside
the git repo ... but for what it's worth, we find that letting normal
git-repack transparently manage all the compression of plain text
payloads gives us excellent results.
