build: Refactor the earlier "basebranch" commit
Recap from earlier commit: If you have a development branch for a major project that will receive gerrit reviews it'll probably be named something like "development/16/newproject" or a work branch based on that "development" branch. That will necessitate setting "defaultbranch=development/16/newproject" in .gitreview. The make_version script uses that variable to construct the asterisk version however, which results in versions like "GIT-development/16/newproject-ee582a8c7b" which is probably not what you want. It also constructs the URLs for downloading external modules with that version, which will fail. Fast-forward: The earlier attempt at adding a "basebranch" variable to .gitreview didn't work out too well in practice because changes were made to .gitreview, which is a checked-in file. So, if you wanted to rebase your work branch on the base branch, rebase would attempt to overwrite your .gitreview with the one from the base branch and complain about a conflict. This is a slighltly different approach that adds three methods to determine the mainline branch: 1. --- MAINLINE_BRANCH from the environment If MAINLINE_BRANCH is already set in the environment, that will be used. This is primarily for the Jenkins jobs. 2. --- .develvars Instead of storing the basebranch in .gitreview, it can now be stored in a non-checked-in ".develvars" file and keyed by the current branch. So, if you were working on a branch named "new-feature-work" based on "development/16/new-feature" and wanted to push to that branch in Gerrit but wanted to pull the external modules for 16, you'd create the following .develvars file: [branch "new-feature-work"] mainline-branch = 16 The .gitreview file would still look like: [gerrit] defaultbranch=development/16/new-feature ...which would cause any reviews pushed from "new-feature-work" to go to the "development/16/new-feature" branch in Gerrit. The key is that the .develvars file is NEVER checked in (it's been added to .gitignore). 3. --- Well Known Development Branch If you're actually working in a branch named like "development/<mainline_branch>/some-feature", the mainline branch will be parsed from it. 4. --- .gitreview If none of the earlier conditions exist, the .gitreview "defaultbranch" variable will be used just as before.
