Attachments: Implement support for mgarepo co backports/4/pkgname if branch exists

Description Rémi Verschelde 2015-02-10 11:32:46 CET 
We need to extend mgarepo to handle the backports branch as it does with the updates branch.

There are at least two things that mgarepo should be able to do:
- Checkout a backports branch using a simple syntax, i.e. mgarepo co backports/4/pkgname
- If the branch does not exist, create the actual backports branch for the given package, following this scheme:
  o Branch off the updates/4/pkgname branch to backports/4/pkgname
  o If pkgname is new, branch off cauldron/pkgname to backports/4/pkgname

For the first point, I've done a patch (arguably not the best implementation though) that mimics the behaviour of mgarepo co 4/pkgname and extends it to support backports.

I've tested it locally and it works fine.

Reproducible:
