…adup outputs are stored in MEDLEYDIR/loadups/branches/BRANCH, where BRANCH is the name of the currently active git branch of MEDLEYDIR (for loadup) or the name of a BRANCH whereby which a loadup had been run with the --branch option (for medley). Man pages updated accordingly.
… scripts. Added optional BRANCH argument to --branch in loadup script. If BRANCH is specified iot is used as the (pseudo)branch name instead of the current active git branch of MEDLEYDIR. If BRANCH is "-", the current git branch name is used.

Worked well on first test: loadup --branch master. Minor embellishments would be to put the branch in the window title, along with the id. And perhaps MEDLEY_LOADUPS_DIR could be set as one of the MEDLEY-INIT-VARS |

Should loadups/branches/ be added to .gitignore? |
…TDIR that contains the git commit, git branch and git status of MEDLEYDIR at the time of the loadup. Branch names in loadup and medley scripts now contain only alphanumerics, dahes, underscores, periods. Any other character is coerced to underscore. The branch name is now included in the window title.
… the --id string.

PR modified modestly. New features/changes described in edited first comment above. Added branch names to window title. Added new loadups files to .gitignore. Merged with current master. |

This PR updates both the loadup and medley scripts (and their man-pages) to enable loadup products to be stored into and retrieved from named subdirectories under MEDLEYDIR/loadups. By default the subdirectory is named for the git branch current when loadup is run. But the name can also be specified as a argument to the loadup script.
For the loadup script:
./loadup --branch [BRANCH | -] ...will store the loadup outputs (and work subdirectories) into a subdirectory named MEDLEYDIR/loadups/branches/BRANCH. If BRANCH is not specified or is "-" then the name of the currently active git branch is used, except if no git or MEDLEYDIR is not a git directory, then the --branch flag is ignored. BRANCH can contain alphanumerics, dashes, underscores and periods. Any other character is coerced to an underscore. This holds for git branch names as well as BRANCHes specified on the command line. -br is a synonyms of --branch. If no --branch is specified, then files are stored in the top level of MEDLEYDIR/loadups as before.For the medley script:
./medley --branch [ BRANCH | -] ...will run the sysouts from the MEDLEYDIR/loadups/branches/BRANCH directory. Also the env variable MEDLEY_LOADUPS_DIR will be set to this directory for ease of finding, e.g., exports.all, from Lisp. If BRANCH is specified as "-", then the name of the currently active git branch will be used as BRANCH. As for the loadup script, BRANCH can contain alphanumerics, dashes, underscores and periods. Any other character is coerced to an underscore. -br is a synonym for --branch.Man-pages have been updated accordingly.
This PR adds to the loadup script the the feature that if MEDLEYDIR is a git directory, then a file named gitinfo will be placed in the LOADUP_OUTDIR. gitinfo contains the git commit, git branch name and git status at the time the loadup is run.
Merged in PR#2208: Use the loadup step script names as the --id string.
