If someone were to fix the b: selector (as described at
http://venge.net/monotone/quickies.html, last item), then this would
just be
  $ for R in `monotone automate select b:badbranch`

ATM though this will not do what you want if there are any branches
named badbranchfoo, since b:badbranch will match any branch whose name
begins with  "badbranch".
