The release team will create the branches for you. The scripts we have
to do that will submit some additional patches to update the .gitreview
file, any constraints URLs in tox.ini, and reno (where that applies).

Please just include the request to have the branches created in the
commit message with the RC tag request. If you have some repositories
you want branched and others you do not, please separate those into two
patches to openstack/releases (the tool for creating the branches looks
at all of the deliverable files modified in a patch).
