There were a number of problems with t1000-branch-create:
  * It assumed that refs were not packed. I added calls to show-ref to
    spot any packed refs.
  * It reused the same name for several consecutive branch creation
    tests. This causes a domino effect if one of the subtests fail. I
    made the subtests use different names.
  * It tried to make sure that we couldn't create a branch if there
    was a broken ref by the same name. Unfortunately that test fails
    -- we don't create the branch, but we point HEAD to it. This
    causes many subsequent operations to fail. I marked this test as a
    known failure, and added some reset code so that subsequent
    subtests don't die because of this.

Thanks to Junio for suggesting that the test should be repaired rather than deleted. It finds a real bug! (A rather harmless one, but still.)
