I think you may have jummped the gun on this one, Mark.  As implemented,
this function finds the highest rev across *all* branches with the right
number of dots, not just branches rooted at the same revision.  So, for
example, if you have a number of branches off 1.1 -- 1.1.0.2, 1.1.0.4,
and 1.1.0.6, for example -- and then create a new branch off of 1.2,
you'll get 1.2.0.8 instead of 1.2.0.2 like you should.  In fact, I see
now that it checks *all* tags with the right number of dots, not just
magic branch tags, so plain revision tags will pollute the branch
number, too.
