I've been using "monotone -b branch update REV" quite often to switch my 
working copy to a different branch. That is why I do not want the branch 
to be too long.

BTW: Is there an easy way to switch the working copy to a different 
branch? I thought that "monotone -b new_branch update" (without the 
explicit REV arg) would do the trick but it does not :(. I have to first 
find out the head of the branch by "monotone -b new_branch heads" and 
then copy&paste the REV.

So, if the "domain.com" part of the branch name was stored in MT/options 
seperately from the "branch" and I could use just the "branch" part when 
switching to different branch, that would cetrainly motivate me to use 
the globaly unique branch names.
