I agree that this would not be worth the effort needed to make it happen.

There's also a sizeable security risk there, of someone putting something malicious in a branch and then triggering a run from that branch. I suppose that could be overcome if this was purposefully limited to the main git repo that only our core committers had access to, but we'd need to be careful.
