I didn't realize there were animals left other than mine which had this
issue. I asked the admins some weeks ago to fix this (I don't have
privilege to do so), but have not had a response yet. The temporary
workaround is to use a list of named branches, e.g. instead of 'ALL' use
[qw(REL_11_STABLE REL_12_STABLE REL_13_STABLE REL_14_STABLE
REL_15_STABLE HEAD)]
