In that sense, it could be useful as the fall back for those who haven't yet got a clear view of what they want to call their first born. So I sort of support both views. An alternative in the other direction is to go with the 'not currently on any branch' (detached at nowhere) but then require users to deliberately create their first branch with their chosen name. This moves the 'backward incompatibility' to a different place, which may be easier to manage. -- Philip
