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.
