As an aside, the problem here is likely a manifestation of the fact
that nobody understands what a branch is; the word 'branch' is
TERRIBLE, as everyone has a different idea for what that should mean.
In my opinion, `git branch' should become `git ref' or the like.

One of git's worst faults is that a complicated and imprecise
interface has been draped over a very simple and precise underlying
structure.
