Since the branch command moved built-in it no longer works in sub-directories. I've futzed with it and it seems adding RUN_SETUP to the command table for branch makes 'git branch' work. Is this safe to do?

"git branch" is usable only within a git repository, so RUN_SETUP should be the sane thing to do. Thanks for noticing.
