Description

The branch mojo commits as follows if you ask for a new version on the branch and not in the working copy:

1. edit the new version into the working copy
2. commit
3. branch
4. do a 'git revert' to undo the change

This results in a weird history. Better would be:

1. checkout -b as it were to make new branch
2. edit to put new version in new branch
3. commit on new branch
