Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 boklm]:
 > This patch also adds a feature allowing to define options that only
 apply to the current project but not the child projects. I still need to
 make a new revision of the patch documenting this feature and do more
 testing before setting this as `needs_review`.

 A new revision of this patch, adding documentation, is in branch
 `bug_27265_v3`:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/rbm.git/commit/?h=bug_27265_v3&id=146316fa98cae4fabdec7178ad79ba12cfdf82d9

 Because this patch is changing how `rbm` is overriding the value of
 `output_dir`, this requires a small change in `tor-browser-build`, which
 is done in branch `bug_27265`:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_27265&id=1d007442bbab4a3e733d0ce4f880a3e2eb02bca6

 I checked that this patch is fixing the build issue with #27045. I also
 checked that this version of rbm is producing an identical build of 8.5a4.
