Hi Stefan,

I had much the same problem, and it occured to me that the
svn_buildbot.py script has not concept of branches, and there is no
easy way I can see in the master configuration to automatically
determine the branch.

So I've created a patch to svn_buildbot that adds a --branch argument,
and passes that as the branch name when sending the change message to
buildbot.

The patch is attached, and if it's useful to Warner I'm happy for him to
include it in a later release.

cheers,
chris
