No, I do not think it's the fault of the buildfarm machines.  The problem

is that Magnus got rid of a bad commit into the 9.2 branch via "git reset"

not "git revert", cf



https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CABUevEzrD-BYtQOQ22navkoWquOC5TcqPcBS_iQ2cYqaK9_39g%40mail.gmail.com



and these three machines seem to have been quick enough to see the

intermediate state and get confused by it.  I'm not very sure why "git

pull" isn't enough to recover, but it evidently isn't.
