Straw Boss CI
=============
* Pipeline: series of named steps.
* Step: named set of operations (make, script, something extensible).
Optionally names an artifact that is the result of the step.
* Artifact: resulting output from a step. strawboss may skip step execution if
it already has an artifact cached from that step.
* Configuration is two-part. Pipeline, step, and artifact definition are part
of the project configuration (.strawboss.json? yaml?). Environment
configuration lives on the strawboss server (supplies DB info, etc.).
* REST API?
* Step execution happens within the root directory of a fresh copy of the repo.
Commit identifiers (hash/ref/etc.) are supplied when a build is triggered and
the fresh copy is checked out at that reference.
