The "restrictions" are:

1. status is "build succeeded"
2. reference is master (or main)
3. package name isn't "playground"

I think it's #2 that's causing this to be rejected here.

This is briefly touched on in the description of 'jobs deploy' in 
https://cygwin.com/packaging/build.html, but yeah, could give clearer 
error message.

(Also it looks like I forgot to actually add the jobid to the format 
string, nice...)

You'd use the "label" token, i.e git push with --push-option="label"

See https://cygwin.com/packaging/build.html

(Suggestions for a better name for this welcomed!)
