I  like this new behaviour, but I was wondering if we can let --create-branch
take a optional branch argument. Because when I used it I was surprised
to find it branched from the current branch, where I expected it
to branch from the mainline.
I think sometimes you'd like to branch from where you are at,
but sometimes you may want to specify where you want to branch from.
