bool branchExistsRemotely();
	Check if branch exists in remote customer-repository.

    bool branchExistsLocally();
	Check if branch exists locally in customer-repository.

    bool gitPullNewBranches();
	In case the remote branch exists, but not the corresponding local one,
	then fetch the remote-branch.

+#  11:  Das Edit-Fenster teilen um die Anzeige zu verbessern.
+#  12:  Bei einem Update muss immer ersichtlich sein, warum es ueberhaupt
+#       angestossen wurde. Steht kein "WAIT" im ISMAS-Trigger, dann kann man
+#       davon ausgehen, dass es sich um ein automatisches Update handelt.
+#       In jedem Fall wird bei einem automatischen Update, bei dem der WAIT-
+#       Button nicht gesetzt war, ein "OK" gesendet, falls sonst nichts weiter
+#       zu tun ist. Beachte aber: wir haben auch noch den Fall, dass eine SD-
+#       Karte gesteckt wird. In diesem Fall wird ein komplettes Update gefahren,
+#       und zwar explizit auch ohne WAIT-Button.
+#       Am Ende eines Updates steht im ISMAS entweder ein "OK" oder ein "FAIL".
+# 13:   SendLastVersion: fuer jedes erfolgreich installierte Paket eine
+#       Send-Last-Version-Nachricht an ISMAS. Dadurch entsteht im ISMAS eine
+#       History (Christian darueber informieren).
+# 14:   Installiert werden nur Dateien, die neu sind oder geaendert wurden.
+#       Nicht etwas Dateien, die geloescht wurden: sicherstellen, dass man hier
+#       immer direkt im repository arbeitet, nicht auf dem Filesystem.
+#       Ferner: der DeviceController heisst dc2c.bin, auch fuer die Jsons
+#       sind Dtandard-Namen vergeben. Alternativ: alle vorhandenen Jsons
+#       werden runtergeladen: Thomas ist eh fuer deren Inhalte verantworlich.
+#       WICHTIG: immer ueberpruefen, ob die Dateien im Customer-Repository
+#       wirklich die richtigen Dateien sind.
+# 15:   Der WAIT-Button laesst sich auf WAIT zuruecksetzen (etwa wenn git
+#       selber Probleme hatte).
+# 16:   Der Download-Thread sollte sowohl die auto-Variable auf false setzen
+#       als auch den cycle-Timer stoppen, damit sichergestellt ist, dass der
+#       Download des DC nicht gestoert wird.
