I wonder if in the --no-push case, it would be sufficient to checkout
a local branch to ubuntu/devel from namespace/importer/ubuntu/devel
and leave the repo in that state. We could also checkout to a detached
HEAD state, but that might be more surprising (but would mean the
'repo' state in push and no-push modes is identical). That will be
roughly the same commitsh as the bot importer running at the same time
and then `git ubuntu clone`?
