Why the prefix? Wouldn't it be easier to just have one "switch branch"
prompt that would tab complete existing branch names, and

  * if the user enters the name of an existing branch, just switch to
    it;

  * if the user enters a name that's not the name of an existing
    branch, ask for confirmation, and then create the new branch and
    switch to it.
