My apologies. After all, we have all been using 'git branch' for so many years without complaining. I only noticed the itch recently: it's a burning itch that I want it to be fixed very badly (hence the series). If anything I intended to convey the importance of the patch to me personally, not about some "general truth" on the broken-ness of git-branch.

Ofcourse I will take your suggestion and tone down, because I don't want the git community to feel bad about the software they're developing.
