People often use branch names. For example, a given release of
software might be designated by:

   1. a project name
   2. a version number that refers to the project mainline
   3. a branch name, of a branch somehow related to that version of the
      mainline
   4. a branch number that is a version number for the branch line


Can we add support for branch names and multiple version numbers, too?
