But anyway, none of this matters does it?  The ordering only matters
currently because monotone serves collections (net.venge.monotone
indicates net.venge.monotone.*), but that's going to be removed.

So all that matters is branch name uniqueness, so one could use
net.venge.monotone or monotone.venge.net or anything else that seemed
convenient.  Some kind of conventions will probably be useful, and
presumably that'll be little-endian (matching domain names).
