Triggering builds on buildbots just by committing to user directory not possible?

Doing this right is a whole can of worms. For example, a user might branch
a few ports that depend on each other. Imagine I'd branch ports A, B, C,
with dependency relations

  A -> X -> B -> Y -> C

The buildbot would then have to rebuild A, B, and C. But, it would also have
to rebuild X and Y against my versions of A and B, wouldn't it?
