+The `-c` and `-C` options have the exact same semantics as `-m` and

+config and reflog will be copied to a new name.

With a `-d` or `-D` option, `<branchname>` will be deleted. You may
specify more than one branch for deletion. If the branch currently
has a reflog then the reflog will also be deleted.
