Re: [PATCH] Teach git-branch howto rename a branch

Lars Hjemli wrote:

This adds a '--rename' option to git branch. If specified, branch
creation becomes branch renaming.

With a single branchname, the current branch is renamed and .git/HEAD is
updated.

With two branchnames, the second name is renamed to the first.

Could you please document this new feature?

And wouldn't it be better to use <source> <target>, aka <branch> <newname>
like in git-mv and other rename/move commands? "Second name is renamed to
the first" although fits with "<branchname> [<start-point>]" is not natural
for rename.
