Not necessary, you will be responsible for knowing which branch of yours is
the rtm branch, we don't need to track it. The mp targets the rum branch,
so CI train just merges where you tell it to.

Because we don't track how you manage your branches. Your rtm branch might
be named rtm or 14.09 or fizzlebuzz. The citrain script needs to be able to
programmatically determine the destination distribution from the
spreadsheet, and we didn't want to use flaky heuristics on the mp URLs, so
we made it an explicit spreadsheet field for maximum clarity.
