Yes, that's the 2.8 branch. Up to 2.8 every version had its own branch. There are smaller examples in the 2.9 repository. For example you have these 3 branches of the core package Seaside-Core: Seaside-Core-pmm.configcleanup.53.mcz, Seaside-Core-jf.cache.3.mcz, Seaside-Core-jf.painter.10.mcz. The first two have been merged at some point, the latter one has been dropp-. The original Monticello UI once grouped and sorted these branches nicely. Somebody broke that a long time ago. Another problem is that some people decided to use a dot within their initials, that 'breaks' it too ;-) Out of the 40 000 versions on SqueakSource there are almost 2 000 versions that use named branching (200 without Seaside). Furthermore, I know many commercial projects that use named branches as part of their development/release cycles. So it is certainly not some feature that you can just ignore when changing Monticello.
