Enable testing a Github branch other than master

[gibfahn]

It is currently possible to use citgm to test the master branch with the following lookup.json options:

"master": true,
"repo": "https://github.com/org/repo",
"replace": true

However, there's no way to select a different branch, which makes it harder to use CitGM for development.

The fix would be to have the option "branch": "my_branch" instead of "master": true. We can alias "master": true to "branch": "master" for backwards compatibility.

You can use a branch with this option:

"sha": "<git-commit-sha>"    Test against a specific commit

I think you still need "master": true.

[gibfahn]

So, using this lookup.json:

{
  "nodereport": {
    "master": true,
    "repo": "https://github.com/richardlau/nodereport",
    "sha": "build",
    "replace": true
  }
}

And running citgm-all -v verbose -l lookup.json nodereport you can indeed run CitGM against a branch. However, the equivalent citgm command (citgm -c build -v verbose richardlau/nodereport) doesn't work.

you can add a hash after the name to reference the branch.

Oh yeah, so what does the -c option do?
