Seems pretty easy!  Attached is the patch.  I tested this with both GitHub and
GitLab branches and pull/merge requests.  E.g. all the following work nicely:

$ autopkgtest https://gitlab.com/user/project.git
$ autopkgtest https://gitlab.com/user/project.git#branchname
$ autopkgtest https://gitlab.com/user/project.git#merge-requests/1/head

$ autopkgtest https://github.com/user/project.git
$ autopkgtest https://github.com/user/project.git#branchname
$ autopkgtest https://github.com/user/project.git#refs/pull/1/merge

Each stanza above describes the master branch, a specific other branch, and
the respective hosting services' names for pull/merge requests.
