 "git branch" learned "-c/-C" to create and switch to a new branch
 by copying an existing one.

 Will cook in 'next'.

Junio, are we still waiting for interaction with other patches to
settle down or simply cooking it further for any potential
feedback/suggestions on this?

No, "waiting for other topics to settle" was a long time ago.
During the pre-release feature freeze, nothing will be merged to
'master', unless it is a trivially correct bugfix or a regression
fix.  This one is neither.
