push brands down to subsidiaries #15

Closed coyotemarin closed 7 years ago

(Have to create the subsidiary table first, see #14.)

For example, Ben & Jerry's is a subsidiary of Unilever. Currently Ben & Jerry's is listed as both a brand of Unilever, and a company.

We could either list "Ben & Jerry's" as a brand of Ben & Jerry's, or (because it has the same name as a subsidiary) just treat it as an incorrect way of listing the company.

Mapping brands to companies and vice versa is trickier than it's worth. In this case, "Ben & Jerry's" would be a brand of "Ben & Jerry's".
