Perhaps this is more of a wording issue i.e. 'creating a branch' is too
unspecific. Maybe
Can only be used when creating a new branch (without copying or moving
an existing branch). If the branch creation would fail, show the
relevant error message. If the branch creation would succeed, show
nothing.
> In any case, any reason to leave those out?
No long term reason. I left those out because "create brand new branch
with --dry-run" was needed right now, but the others are not. For
consistency, we'd want --dry-run for all other actions, including copy,
move, delete, etc.
