Some branches don't get any ancestors at all, because their ancestor gets
a "dotcount" value of 0, and are thus not considered any better than not
having any ancestor. That's obviously wrong. Even a zero-dot-count
ancestor is better than having none at all.
This fixes the issue by making not having an ancestor branch have a
goodness value of -1, avoiding the problem (because even a zero dot-count
will be considered better).
Alternatively, the special-case for the "1.1.1.1" revision should be
removed (or made to imply a dot-count of 1).
Thanks for this. I'll look at bundling this and some miscellaneous
other stuff this weekend (pray to gods for rain so I can stay in all
weekend ;-).
Anyway, I'd like to nail down some of the other nagging ancestry/branch
point problems if possible.
