Changes (by knarf):

  * status:  new => confirmed


Comment:

 The code seems to specifically implement that behavior:
 - It updates all branches that were specified to the 'update' command,
 plus 'master' (last).
   The branches that are specified are all branches specified for
 REPO_BRANCH, delimited by comma.
 - It then switches back to the branch that the repository was at before
 the update.

 In this sense, it does an 'update', not a 'switch to another branch'. Now
 the question is what we want GetComponents to do when given the command to
 'update'.
