I was looking for a way to determine the behavior of the master branch 
(for the sake of dist values) without hitting the network, as that would 
break git's ability to work offline.  The best I could come up with at 
the time this code was written was to check and see what other branches 
existed, and just increment the biggest one by one.  I welcome 
suggestions for better ways to manage this.
