Correct, the slave polls the master for jobs, but the master tells
the slave exactly what to do.  So either Zach or I need to rewrite
the master.cfg on the buildbot master to use git instead of hg.

However, I don't actually remember how the master finds out about
changes, so I'd have to look that up.  Maybe Zach remembers.

Yes.  We need to update that part of the devguide, as well.
