fair enough. note that you're adding to the CI load, so try to batch
your integrations in as far as reasonable. as always, actually.
you didn't specify the source, so i assumed dev.

speaking of how hard is to get branches: the policy is quite clear that
done (and abandoned) branches should be deleted (or moved to a hidden
namespace, if you insist on archiving your throw-away branch). they
aren't, they are piling up. what exactly do you expect in return?
