But aren't all these methods ways of working around the true problem? I know 
all of this, but I still have to _try_ the exact branch name. And calling it 
"UNSTABLE_BRANCH" instead of "UNSTABLE" is maybe even better. As long as we 
come up with a unified naming system. Having to look something up can be made 
very easy, but not having to look it up in the first place is easier...
