Thanks a lot Andrew and Andrew for helping out and testing this.

I pushed some work into lp:~dholbach/apps-brancher/1012064 which should
get us a mentioned branch instead of the imported tarball, if a branch
is found.

It'd be good to try this out on a few submissions and see if it brings
us the expected results. You can easily try it by running something like:

 ./retry https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/apps/168/

I'm excited to see these gradual improvements flowing into the
apps-brancher. :-)

Have a great day,
 Daniel
