I have the same problem.

We can have the standard --list command which ignores the protected flag or even the stgit.formatversion. Just a simple listing of the branches (that's what I need most of the time). To get the description, the 's' and 'p' flags, we could use --list-full or something similar and wait a bit longer. This would also improve the bash completion of commands taking branch names as arguments.

We had a similar issue in the past with 'series' as it was checking whether the patch is empty. We ended up adding a '--empty' option for this case.
