4 /* Functions for acting on the information about branches. */
7 * Creates a new branch, where:
9 * - name is the new branch name
11 * - start_name is the name of the existing branch that the new branch should
14 * - force enables overwriting an existing (non-head) branch
16 * - clobber_head_ok allows the currently checked out (hence existing)
17 * branch to be overwritten; without 'force', it has no effect.
19 * - reflog creates a reflog for the branch
21 * - quiet suppresses tracking information
23 * - track causes the new branch to be configured to merge the remote branch
24 * that start_name is a tracking branch for (if any).
