[swift-dev] Building swift-3.1-branch from source

[Alex Blewitt]

You can use ./swift/utils/update-checkout --scheme swift-3.1-branch which will switch the branches to the right place for you. Some of the git repositories aren't necessarily the same; using the update-checkout script to select the right ones will be more successful. You can also use --reset-to-remote if you've made local changes that you want to throw away or want to ensure that it does the right thing from a clean update.
