Fair enough.

Just to be sure. I'm assuming you're referring to the patch for the other
branch options: "-edit-description", "-set-upstream-to" and
"-unset-upstream". Routing their arguments through strbuf_branchname to
allow the expansion of @{-N}, @{u}...  Option "-d" is fine with this.
Otherwise please let me know.
