mg-branch-setup is the tool which sets up an instance of the push gate
machinery.

We are creating a new push gate for xtf.  That is, there will be both
a staging branch and an osstest-tested branch.  If the osstest-tested
branch were to be missing, the push gate runs will bomb out during
flight construction.

So mg-branch-setup helpfully reminds its user (via its usage message)
that something should perhaps be pushed there.  Ie, if one passes it
an INITIAL-TESTED-VERSION, which should usually be a git commit hash,
then that hash is pushed to the osstest-tested branch.

Ian.
