This makes a lot of assumptions about the layout of the repository
(presence and/or naming of branches) and the workflows being used (use
of gbp).

I think this may be better off reassigned/cloned to git-buildpackage to
have gbp-clone(1) gain a “--debcheckout” which uses gbp's knowledge to
do post-clone configuration.

I'd be willing to add handling for the pristine-tar branch, since that's
standard, but the rest seems too specific to other tools.

Cheers,
