nitpick, but wouldn't scap branch or scap release be a better command name? We use swat to mean something completely different than initializing a new version for rolling deployment.

@bd808: I kinda conflated two things in this one ticket. This is the result of discussion that occurred in a recent Release-Engineering-Team (Long-Lived-Branches) meeting between @demon, @thcipriani and myself.
My understanding as of now is that we decided to build two different utilities as scap extensions. We could call them scap merge and a scap swat, the former will merge all the changes for the weekly train, the latter will merge just one patch for the daily swat. They both need to do some slightly complex interaction with git & gerrit.
The thing we realized is that the two commands should be able to share share a lot of the same code. So we concluded that the clearest path forward would be to start by building the easier one (scap swat) and then use that as a basis to build the replacement make-wmf-branch. I should have created two tasks for them but instead I did the lazy thing and mixed them into this one task. I will correct that.
