We've discussed that it may be a good idea to make sure that "switch
-c", "checkout -b" and "switch/checkout --orphan" complete the new
branch name the same way, but haven't done anything else.  I'd very
much appreciate to see the patches reviewed by those involved more
in the completion script, before we decide to merge the topic to
'next'.

Thanks.
