Indeed. But then it would be *them* taking away agency from the user (by
not allowing the user to choose the name of the branch), not us.
In Spanish we have a saying: "don't give extra change", which is similar to
the lawyery advice: "don't volunteer [information]".
Let's not volunteer user complaints. Let GitHub take some of those.
