Can we change try-comm-central to build using mozilla-2.0 by default?

[Andrew Sutherland]

While I see us wanting to be able to use the try-server to build against
both mozilla-2.0 and mozilla-central, I expect that:
- the people who will want to build against mozilla-central will know
how to force it to use mozilla-central, namely Standard8
- most patches will be targeting TB 3.3 until we lock it down, so the
friendliest thing is to build for TB 3.3 (mozilla-2.0)

As such, I propose we do something that makes the try-server use
mozilla-2.0 by default. This is especially relevant because our mozmill
tests already seem broken on mozilla-central. (Maybe because of
extension compatibility/something trivial, maybe because of something
weird and complex.)

(add a client.py patch into the patch tree that you're pushing to change
the location of MOZILLA_REPO).

We can do this quite easily by getting try server to add the
--mozilla-repo argument. The only disadvantage of this is that its then
harder to push for other repos, including 1.9.2, (we'd need to adjust
client.py a bit more to ignore that argument), but we can at least stick
that on a wiki page.

I think I'm in agreement with this idea, it seems the right thing to do
at the moment.

(btw the new trunk will hopefully be set up later today)
