Hmm? I'm talking semantics, not the lexical aspect. Weren't you?

I find it confusing. If this is about naming of administrative
("special"?) branches only, I honestly couldn't care less. For all
that it's worth, the administrative branch for any branch could just
be the same name as the corresponding "normal" branch with something
special added, like a period (".net.venge.monotone", anyone?), but I
don't care too much, as long as the current structure for "normal"
branches isn't reworked too much.
Cheers,
Richard
