A warning would minimally address the issue but there would still be a
behavioral inconsistency with "fossil commit --branch" which does
automatically move you into the new branch. This inconsistency opens the
door to confusion.

That said, I think both "fossil branch new" and "fossil commit --branch"
should provide feedback as to which branch is "active". This explicit
communication will help new users regardless of the decided behavior.
