Scallywag nobuild?

Scallywag nobuild?

[Ken Brown]

Jon,

Is there a way to tell scallywag to ignore a commit?  Maybe "SCALLYWAG=nobuild"?

Here's my use case.  I've just made some maintenance updates to about 30 
texlive-collection-*.cygport files.  I do this every few months to reduce the 
annual work when there's a new TeX Live release.  I'd like to push these changes 
to protect them from loss, but I don't want to tie up the scallywag system 
unnecessarily.

Yeah, this seems like a useful thing to have.

Unfortunately, we don't analyze the cygport in the git post-receive hook 
(since there are potential security concerns with doing that), so I've 
made it so the job gets started, but should fairly quickly discover it 
doesn't have anything to do if 'nobuild' is present.

THe other option would be to have another special branch that
auto-merges into master but doesn't trigger the CI build.
