This is scary, crappy and trappy (as Robert pointed out to me in a private discussion). Unfortunately there is no other syntax (that I know of) that could replace it. Also, branches (and tags) propagate to people's own forked clones and they *stay* there, at least until somebody "prunes" their set of remote tags or branches (intentionally not giving the command syntax here...). My remark about making branches more "semantic" was in part also because deleting branches (from the origin) is prone to errors and not that intuitive (it is logical, but not intuitive). So we can just leave branches forever but it'll quickly get sickly scary if we just name them whatever at the top level.
