After more live discussion with Sebas and Marco plus Aaron over a video

Michael: I see two ways this could be done in kdesrc-build.
Either with the
selection layers being defined by the projects XML and some
additional magic
in branch selection to allow for these new names, or with a much more
low-tech solution: 3 available files to include from
kdesrc-buildrc, like ...
Well there's a 3rd method as well, which is to add a separate
metadata file to
the kde-build-metadata repository which maps each git repository to its
appropriate branch for each of the 3 categories.
git symbolic-ref refs/heads/NEXT refs/heads/master
or for workspace/libs
git symbolic-ref refs/heads/NEXT refs/heads/KDE/4.11
eventually also
git symbolic-ref refs/heads/CURRENT refs/heads/KDE/4.11
and then at some point
git symbolic-ref --delete refs/heads/CURRENT
git symbolic-ref refs/heads/CURRENT refs/heads/KDE/4.12
But i don't know how this will exactly behave on remote/local conditions (ie.
whether you get a local symref if the remote is one)
