Checklist

• I'm running the newest version of HACS https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/latest
• I have filled out the issue template to the best of my ability.
• I have read https://hacs.xyz/docs/help/issues/
• This issue is related to the frontend of HACS.
• This issue only contains 1 issue (if you have multiple issues, open one issue for each issue).
• This is a bug and not a feature request.
• This issue is not a duplicate issue of currently open or issues pending release.

Describe the issue

Similar to #4195, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the branch of a custom repo in HACS 2.0. I'm trying to test out a PR for a custom repo, but as much as I noodle around I cannot figure out how to change the branch HACS is pulling from for a custom repo from the front-end. https://hacs.xyz/docs/publish/integration/?h=branch#github-releases-optional makes me think this is no longer possible, which is kinda oboxious for this use case. If that's the case, is there a dev override, as I understand this use case is somewhat specialized, but it can't be that unique (unless there's better workflows y'all suggest for testing out custom repo changes)

Reproduction steps

1. Create a fork of an existing custom repo
2. Create a custom branch with changes to try in HACS
3. Add new fork to HACS
4. Discover that you cannot specify the branch to use, and the default branch (which is the unadulterated fork of the original repo) is no different then the upstream

Screenshots

I'm not sure how useful screenshots showing a lack of behavior are, but I can gladly get some if I know what you want to look at
