You could have put the branch name in the "revision" field instead (as
I told you on #python-dev).

This is very much an unofficial feature right now, which also explains
that the UI has not been adapted.

This is the kind of question you have to ask on the buildbot channels. I
don't think any of us knows enough about buildbot internals to answer
it or give any guidance.

Thank you
