Open Stack

Cherry-picking onto the target branch requires an extra step and custom
code that I wanted to avoid.
Right now I can just pass the gerrit ref into devstack's local.conf as the
branch and everything works.
 If there was a way to get that Zuul ref, I could just use that instead and
no new code would be required.

Is exposing that ref in a known format/location something the infra team
might consider?

Thanks
