7 * Creates a new branch, where head is the branch currently checked
8 * out, name is the new branch name, start_name is the name of the
9 * existing branch that the new branch should start from, force
10 * enables overwriting an existing (non-head) branch, reflog creates a
11 * reflog for the branch, and track causes the new branch to be
12 * configured to merge the remote branch that start_name is a tracking
13 * branch for (if any).

19 * Validates that the requested branch may be created, returning the
20 * interpreted ref in ref, force indicates whether (non-head) branches
21 * may be overwritten. A non-zero return value indicates that the force
22 * parameter was non-zero and the branch already exists.

27 * Remove information about the state of working on the current
28 * branch. (E.g., MERGE_HEAD)

33 * Configure local branch "local" as downstream to branch "remote"
34 * from remote "origin". Used by git branch --set-upstream.
