Hi Evan.  Our testfix machinery is very much a Rube Goldberg machine and 
I do not recommend that you follow its implementation.

That said, if you need details, I am one of the people who can provide them.

The quick answer to your question is that pqm has acceptance rules that 
you can change out with a file.  When a local long-running process 
notices that buildbot failed, it changes the pqm rules into a file that 
tells PQM to accept nothing except those commits with "[testfix]" in the 
message.  That is testfix mode.
