"stg assimilate" already has the job of fixing up stuff after the user has used git commands to move HEAD around. I think it would make sense to teach it to do this too -- and then rename it "stg repair" or something. That way, there's one command to fix every kind of "damage" that git can do to stgit.

Alternatively, "stg branch --create" and "stg init" and whoever else is bothered by the clutter could simply remove it themselves. That would be even more user-friendly, I guess.
