Yes. This will make buckminster search the trunk first and if it fails 
to find it there, search the R1.0.x branch.

Not sure what you mean by automatically here. Buckminster cannot guess 
what branches you have in mind and in what order they should be 
searched. You must specify this somewhere. You don't need to do it once 
for each component of course. You can create an advisory node that 
matches all components using the pattern '.*'.
