  another picky question ... are there any other benefits of
supporting slashes in branch names other than the obvious ones i know
about?
1) visually, let's you *imagine* a branch hierarchy, and
2) allows wildcarding on a full "component" basis
  are there any other benefits of the above? thank you kindly.
