[Merge] lp:~nacc/ubuntu-dev-tools/update-vcs into lp:ubuntu-dev-tools

[Nish Aravamudan]

Nish Aravamudan has proposed merging lp:~nacc/ubuntu-dev-tools/update-vcs into lp:ubuntu-dev-tools.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu Development Team (ubuntu-dev)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~nacc/ubuntu-dev-tools/update-vcs/+merge/308871

I am not necessarily requesting this for merging yet, but it's a PoC implementation that resolves a process issue we hit somewhat often on the Server Team.

I am open to:

  - Making this a separate command
  - Adding a new command (update-metadata?) that update-maintainer aliases to for BC which supports the new flag (perhaps without the flag and by default therefore?)
  - Adding a parameter to --vcs to specify a new value should be used instead (similar for vcs-browser I guess?). Could use the protocol of the repository to determine the protocol to use for the tag, if needed?
  - ... any other changes, I just think code speaks louder than words :)
