When trying to rename a branch to a name including a slash, there is
no explicit creation of leading dirs, and stgit crashes:

$ stg branch -r multitag dev/multitag
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/stg", line 43, in ?

What version of StGIT are you using? It seems to be OK with 0.10.

Right, that was with 0.9, and works perfectly with 0.10.  Relying too
much on /usr/bin/ ... :)
