Hi. It's a long time ago, but I don't remember any reason and it feels
sensible that am should be able to create an unborn branch in the same way
interactive rebase can.

I suspect I had done the necessary work for rebase -i but not for am, and
incorrectly assumed that interactive rebase was in any case a superset of
non-interactive.

Best wishes,

Chris.
