Thanks.  I must have missed the earlier discussion.  What are the
semantics of this command and its intended purpose?  For example, what
happens if the branch already existed or if there is a checkpoint
(perhaps triggered by the impatient user sending SIGUSR1 to
fast-import) before the "drop" command is processed?
