Just a word of caution when dealing with me.

Unlike Linus, I am not always right.  And other people on the
list who are here longer already know this. I am reasonably sure
that some of them will disagree with me on design issues like
this one; I mildly suspect that this forbidding "-b branch add"
might be met with resistance from existing users.

You do not have to agree with me on every little detail I
mention.  If you feel a design issue might be contentious, it
could turn out to be a better use of your time to keep the code
as it is while waiting to see if other people would offer better
alternatives.

more consistent?
