I should add that because the relationship is arbitrary, if I were
redesigning arch today, I'd probably prefer to use a name syntax that allows
an arbitrary sequence of branches/versions, e.g., BRA_OR_VER[--BRA_OR_VER]*

However there's no advantage in simply switching the order of branches and
versions in the current fixed format, and certainly a lot of pain.
