How can I use an environment variable to specify branches to build in .travis.yml?

In the TravisCI webapp, I've specified an environment variable called "BUILD_BRANCH". I would like to use this variable in the .travis.yml branch declaration, but TravisCI is reading it as a literal string "$BUILD_BRANCH".

I've looked for examples and references of this type of usage online and couldn't find any. I've also emailed them for support but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

branches:
    only:
        - $BUILD_BRANCH

I've tried both "$BUILD_BRANCH" and "${BUILD_BRANCH}".

Environment variables are expanded in the build, not in the place where the build matrix is expanded in jobs to be run. You would need to hard code this value.
