Comment (by brendan):

 Is there a reason for the builder to override the branch for git when
 alwaysUseLatest is set? In git the revision is more precise than the
 branch, so when alwaysUseLatest isn't set, branch is meaningless. So it
 seems like the 'branch' field should override whatever's coming in from
 the build.
