Wildcards in branch name for testing feature branches

[ianheggie]

It would be great if we could put a wildcard in branches, eg t[0-9]* which would match our feature branches (we name the branches tNNN_some_description_here where NN is the trac ticket number

This would match possibly multiple branches, with the latest version in each branch being tested.

What do people think?

This doesn't seem like a bad idea even though I'm not sure I'd get much use out of it. I think I'd probably revert to manually entering the branch name to ensure it is testing the correct one and not an incorrectly labelled version.

I use a lot of feature branches labeled tNNN_some_description (where NNN is the ticket number) ... having them automatically tested would be great.

I've never used that convention. My branches tend to be things like "integrated_cas" and then something like "integrate_cas_with_tdd" which I suppose it something like yours but would require a lot of additional customization.
