 That is exactly what i am proposing.

 So that one might create versions and branches like this:

 tla make-branch -A address@hidden quux--core  (the old way)
   or
 tla make-branch -A address@hidden quux--2.2--core

 as well as:

 tla make-version -A address@hidden quux--core--2.2 (the old way)
   or
 tla make-branch -A address@hidden quux--2.2

 And it will automagically remember what policy you have decided.

 Also you should be able to:

 bash-3.01a$ tla show-policy (version|branch)
 branch-first
   or 
 version-first
