We want to have ESR 78 on cross-channel. The repos and their aliases are up now, so let's get that done.

This is my local patch, not sure if there's a good way to test this?

Currently getting

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  File "/home/flodolo/src/cross-channel-experimental/initial/cli/automate.py", line 85, in <module>
    for pid in sorted(pushes)
TypeError: string indices must be integers

I assume that's because the pushlog is completely empty?

I see comm-esr78 now has a pushlog, but this patch still fails. I've tried to put a few debug prints before the line where the code crashes, and realized the problem seems to be with mozilla-esr78 instead
https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr78/json-pushes

releases/mozilla-esr78 84c0d49497b06dc02cfb89d39a56950dcf6e369f
releases/mozilla-esr78 {u'error': u"unknown revision '84c0d49497b06dc02cfb89d39a56950dcf6e369f'"}

pushlog_params['fromchange'] = latest.get(current_repo, '0000') gets a changeset that doesn't exist in the repository?

The trick is that new branches get their start from the branch that's before. So putting esr78 after esr68 would have picked the 68 revision as start for esr78, and this way, it's release.
