+Adhoc testing in the production environment
+===========================================
+
+Adhoc (`play') testing of a proposed osstest branch:
+
+  As yourself on the osstest controller VM:
+
+  Check out the version of osstest to be tested.  If you are editing
+  on your workstation, it is easiest to commit everything and then
+     git-push osstestvm:osstest-wombat-tree.git +HEAD:t
+  and on the controller
+     git checkout t~0
+
+  Create (on the controller) daily-cron-email-foo containing
+     To: something appropriate
+  Then
+     OSSTEST_EMAIL_HEADER=daily-cron-email-foo OSSTEST_USE_HEAD=y OSSTEST_NO_BASELINE=y ./cr-daily-branch osstest
