Description Andrey Miroshnikov 2023-10-11 15:02:17 BST 
A new script is needed for switching certain major libre-soc git repos over to user-specified branch. This will aid with the development needed for PO9 migration, as well as general branch-based development.

For now, the following git repos will be branched when this new script is run:
soc.git (also includes pinmux git submodule)
ieee754fpu.git
nmutil.git
openpower-isa.git
pinmux.git
Comment 1 Andrey Miroshnikov 2023-10-11 15:39:58 BST 
The following command can be used to query all available branches for a repo:
git branch --all

Based on this I'll start making a script (will commit to master as leaf-node development, doesn't affect existing flow).

do we really need a script? running `git switch -c my_fancy_branch` is pretty easy...

8 to 10 repositories.

ok, i was thinking we'd only create branches in the repos we actually modify for that task...where if you're modifying more than a few repos, your task is probably too big and needs to be split.
