I think ideally we'd track the "blktap2" branch during normal
development, and grab a specific commit ID when we go into feature
freeze.  But at the moment, that only works if I put "origin/blktap2"
in the REVISION, which doesn't seem quite right.  On my to-do list is
making the git checkout capable of looking for remote branches.
(AFAICT "master" works because a local branch called "master" is made
by default on checkout.)
