I think you're using the old slave-side Repo class, which doesn't
render manifest_branch.

While I was looking, I noticed that the step references
self.build.pathmodule, and fakes that for the tests, but I see nowhere
that that attribute is set in production code, so the step fails in
production.  That's a bit odd!  Pierre, do you recall what that was
about?
