Bug Description
I would like to import branches other than HEAD from a git repository, but this seems not to be possible.
To reproduce:
1. Go to "Request code import" page for any project, e.g. for Launchpad: https:/
2. In section Git, a label says: "The URL of the git repository. The HEAD branch will be imported."

To post a comment you must log in.
You can specify a different branch to import by adding ",branch=NAME" to the end of the URL.
This should be documented, or we could possibly have a separate field in the UI.
