lint won't run: "Multiple candidate branches found and they do not target the same series:"

Review is given the branches explicitly, so it's not the same as a manual
lint.

And this error is exactly what it emits. Lint cannot without any external
info (e.g an MP) determine which of the (presumably identical branches
pkg/debian/{buster,sid} are the intended target and they refer to different
series (which might imply different semantics bases upon which branch is
selected). Perhaps the check should be on the treeish though? Or an
override that says multiple same-tree targets are fine. Although without
looking at the code I thought that was already the check.

I understand that it might need help, but Andreas and I didn't get it to run.
We tried what came to our mind as target-branch.

If you could provide the "git ubuntu lint ???" commandline that would
work correctly we might be good.
But so far we couldn't find it.

Try `git ubuntu lint --target-branch=pkg/debian/sid` as the command
outputted on error.

$ git ubuntu lint --target-branch=pkg/debian/sid

Ends up in just the same error:
12/01/2017 17:13:00 - ERROR:Unable to automatically determine importer
branch: Multiple candidate branches found and they do not target the
same series: pkg/debian/buster, pkg/debian/sid. Please pass
--target-branch.

We tried that actually, which is why we were wondering what exactly it
would have to get passed to work.

Tested the MP, LGTM
