Branch Tabs and Branch configuration process

I have been complaining about the lack of an additional hierarchy for projects so that I may split my vast amount of small projects into managable groups. I also have been complaining about a need to handle branches more effectively.

Enter "Branch Tabs".

I propose:

• adding a branch value to each project group allowing these branches to be grouped together on their own tab.
• adding a clone process to clone a group of projects, with a find-and-replace parsing of the config data to allow SCM information to be changed en mass
• allow each branch to have definable properties like the current global variables mechanism but isolated from other branches
