[PATCH] branch: reset instead of release a strbuf

Our documentation advises to not re-use a strbuf, after strbuf_release has been called on it. Use the proper reset instead.

Maybe one of the #leftoverbits is to remove the re-init call in release and see what breaks? (And then fixing up more of such cases as presented in this patch)

Thanks, Stefan
