The "clean" one which everybody check out. 2. The "dirty" one where everybody commit. The build bot tries to build and test dirty repo on every commit and if it succeeds, it pushes changes from dirty to clean repo. Of course, we have a source control system on top of existing one that allows doing such (and some other) things. If build or test fails, it sends mails and engineer that broke the build is responsible for fixing it. If it is not done in some period of time, others can revert-commit that changes.
