Set Branch name with a property on a Git Source Component

For a Git Source Component or Component Template, it would be great to set the branch name of the repository depending on some property. I would like to change the branch depending on the environment. Now I have the same component replicated for every environment. 

Then I could set a diferent status to every component version depending on this same property, and define environment gates to block deploys to some environments depending on the component version status.

    I'll try with an example.


    We have a component to deploy something from a git source. We deploy to produccion from master, buy to integration from a develop brach, or from a release branch. I could reuse the component setting the branch depending on a environment property.


    1. Developer make a change and commit to a release branch. A new component version is created to deploy this change to the integration environment.

    2. If everything goes right, the release branch merges to master. Then a diferent component creates a new version from master branch in order to deploy to production.

    I want to reuse the component and create environment related versions, with a status or version name convention. A environment gate can allow or block deploys to an environment for a determined version.

    Today we are working with a component for every source branch.
