And now we have that "git branch". It's a trivial one-liner, except with
the setup and error checking it's actually more like six lines.

commit 37f1a519f2ea0ce912ccd7c623aea992147c3900
Author: Linus Torvalds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Add "git branch" script
You can use it as
git branch <branchname> [start-point]
and it creates a new branch of name <branchname>. If a starting point
is specified, that will be where the branch is created, otherwise it
will be created at the current HEAD.
The sequence
git branch xyz abc
git checkout xyz
can also be written as
git checkout -b xyz abc
as per the previous commit.
