  This will clone a repo and look for release
  candidate branches that will be returned as
  a sorted list in json to be
  parsed by the dynamic choice jenkins plugin

  Usage: $prog
            -v    add verbosity (set -x)
            -n    echo what will be done
            -h    this
            -r    repo to look in
            -f    filter string for branch list

  Example: $prog -r https://github.com/edx/edx-platform -f "rc/"
