#1719: all VCs: missing way to override checkout branch
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  PiotrSikora  |       Owner:        
    Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new   
Priority:  major        |   Milestone:  0.8.4 
 Version:  0.8.2        |    Keywords:  gerrit
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Code review systems like: '''Gerrit''', '''Rietveld''' and '''Mondrian'''
 are using virtual branches for checkout of unapproved changes.

 Currently '''Buildbot''' checkouts branch from build properties (or
 "default" buildstep one if there is none in build properties) and there is
 no way to override this.

 It would be possible to set virtual branch as branch that would appear in
 build properties (in '''GerritChangeSource'''), however then
 '''Schedulers''' listening for changes on specific project branch wouldn't
 be notified about it.

 '''Repo''' buildstep is using properties sent from
 '''GerritChangeSource''' to get information about virtual branch to
 checkout and it seems like this is the only way to handle this without
 '''Buildbot'''-wide changes.
