Description

There are scenarios, such as on a feature freeze date, smile, when developers rely on test-patch, rather than hudson to ensure their patches are not causing regressions. For tests though, developers still have to run core and contrib tests and grep on the output to detect failures, which can lead to human errors. Having a mode where test-patch can optionally be asked to run the core and contrib tests also and report on the consolidated status would greatly help.
