This solution is what I saw needed to be done as well when I was
taking a look at things. Due to the other tasks I had to get done
before 0.8.1, and the fact that the sorcery spell had to be woring
for 0.8.1, I decided to revert back to the old way.

I also felt uncomfortable switching the guts around like that
without really thinking about the branching thing as, what would
be the right way to have this feature implemented, instead of,
what weve done almost works enough, so lets get it to work more.
If you know what I mean.

But, if you can get all of this done for 0.8.1 (today) and
you can address the concerns I brought up in the other message
(Update occurance, branch viewing, etc.) as well as make sure
that the version of the program installed is kept track of
still (and not just 'stable' or 'devel' as you originally proposed),
then we can stick it in.
