[Buildbot-devel] revlinks question

I tried to set up revlinks for my bot today, and discovered to my dismay
that I don't know how.
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/manual/cfg-global.html is a bit terse;
looking at the actual code
https://github.com/tomprince/buildbot/commit/fabfd0ea149b491e07a94df121d1f452c984fe96
is a bit more enlightening, but everything seems to assume that the
branch name can be inferred from the repo url.

My repo urls don't have the branch name in them; I pass a separate branch=
parameter to Git.

I tried looking through the code that uses the revlinks stuff,
but didn't see any obvious way of getting at the branch name.

Can I buy a clue?
