+The branch list is a separate buffer called @code{*magit-branches*}
+with its own local key map. The keybindings are modeled after magit's
+main buffer. The buffer contains both local and remote branches. The
+current local branch is marked by a ``*'' in front of the name.
+
+Typing @kbd{k} will delete the branch in the current line, and
+...@kbd{c-u k} deletes it even if it hasn't been merged into the current
+local branch. Deleting works for both local and remote branches.
+
+You can merge the branch in the current line by typing @kbd{m} for a
+manual merge and @kbd{M} for an automatic merge.
+
+With @kbd{b} you can check out the branch in the current line.
+
+Typing @kbd{$} shows the @code{*magit-process*} buffer which contains
+the transcript of the most recent command.
+
+Typing @kbd{V} will refresh the branch list. @kbd{q} buries the branch
+list buffer and deletes its window.
