I would think that using git would allow LLVM to setup a system whereby commits are pushed to a special buildbot repository instead of the main repository. If a commit fails to pass the test suite then it would be rejected and never committed to the main repository, preventing it from causing issues with other developers. If a commit passes then the buildbots could automagically push the changes into the main repository.

I'm not exactly sure how this would work, but I think it would be possible.
