Hi, all
     I just mistaken 'git checkout -b 1.5.5.1 v1.5.5.1' to 'git
checkout -b -f v1.5.5.1', and I don't how to delete it ,
  537  git-branch -D -f
  538  git-branch -D \-f
  539  git-branch -D "\-f"
     all the above operations were failed. :(
     PS: Would it be better if we do checking on branch name to avoid
this case?

FIXME if it is wrong.
