Original issue description updated with some information on the repositories, gathered from the usages in unit tests, as at d7e5d42.

testrepo-Alpha has 20+ branches each with their own specific purposes, which may be difficult to rename. -Beta, -Charlie and -Delta can be renamed, but their usages in testing configuration files need to be updated and consolidated first.

It might be useful if information regarding these test repositories is added to the developer docs under a testing section, so that new contributors understand the intentions behind each test repo. (Or we can now use blurbs #2191)
