objections, but it seems to be conflating two things.  We run lit in -q mode in
Jenkins, because we don't want big console logs duplicating the information
in the XML.

I could be wrong, but I thought that buildbots already stored the
standard output into a file for parsing, so Jenkins would possibly do
the same? It seems not.

Since you're requesting an XML output (same as when requesting verbose
textual output), you will get a lot of output, so redirecting stdout
to a file on the integration level seems like the most sensible
solution on the tool level.
