The branching script makes 3 updates: 1. Modify .gitreview in the branch to make the default for patches submitted to that branch work properly. 2. Modify tox.ini in the branch to update the URL for the constraints file, for projects using constraints. 3. Update the Sphinx files for release notes build in master to add the new branch page. We don't do anything with devstack plugins, but we can consider other updates if there is enough consistency across projects to make it possible to script them.
