Hi Boris, you are right. It is the head of monitored branch, here master branch is
one of the branches on this repo that we monitor.

Early on, there's requirement to blacklist a few branches, which is configured
as below
	blacklist_branch: auto-.*|tmp-.*|base-.*|test.*|.*-for-linus

Except the blacklist branches, we will monitor all other branches. We also
support pull request to update the configuration or email us to update.
Refer to https://github.com/intel/lkp-tests/blob/master/repo/linux/tip.

Thanks
