"""
This is a simple script that does one thing only: compare talos runs from
two revisions. It is intended to check which of two try runs is best or if
a try improves over the m-c or m-i revision in branches from.

A big design goal is to avoid bit rot and to assert when bit rot is detected.
The set of tests we run is a moving target. When possible this script
should work with any test set, but in parts where it has to hard code
information, it should try to assert that it is valid so that changes
are detected and it is fixed earlier.
