Maybe my wording was bad, sorry about that.
I think throwing around ideas (which are closely related to what
is trying to be accomplished here IMHO) is not necessarily bad,
but the exchange of ideas helps in understanding the issue better
("I like your idea as I have not thought about it that way.", "What about
use case X", Your idea is nuts because Y")

Drag and Drop, I get it. ;)

Additionally, if dropped on an unnamed branch, it should come up with
a reasonable
new branch name.
