I still have some comments, bu the patch looks good as-is.

Maybe s/create/create_files/ or soething to that effect here, as I suggested in another mail a few minutes ago.

Show 5 quoted lines

Much clearer now. Interesting that the only reason we need this function at all is to make sure that set_parent_remote and set_parent_branch are called in the correct order.

Maybe set_parent_branch should throw an exception instead of silently doing nothing when there is no parent yet? It would force the callers to be more aware of the limitation -- though we might not actually want that. Your call.
