Or just always returned the nick of the master branch, if that is what we
really want. Then you wouldn't have to hack around it in every command that
might do something to effect the nick.

Simply (psuedocode)


def _get_nick(self):
  master = self.get_master_branch()
  if master is None:
    # return the local value
    config = self.get_config()
  else:
    config = master.get_config()
  return config.get_nick()
