But since we're here, maybe we can break this long message, remove the first full stop and leave the second part of the message as is, as a suggestion. Like we do in the previous message, above.
For your consideration, I mean something like:

@@ -969,7 +969,8 @@ int cmd_branch(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)

One final comment, leaving aside my suggestions; this changes break
some tests that you need to adjust. Try:
$ make && (cd t; ./t3200-branch.sh -vi)
Or, as Junio has already suggested in another message:
$ make test
I have some unfinished work that you might find useful:

Thank you for working on this.
