Although I have no problem with "switch-branch" as a command name,
some alternative names we might consider for switch-branch might be:

chbranch
swbranch
Please never go in that direction.  So far, we made a conscious
effort to keep the names of most frequently used subcommand to
proper words that can be understood by coders (IOW, I expect they
know what 'grep' is, even though that may not be a 'proper word').
switch
branch change (as a subcommand for the "branch" command)
It is more like moving to the branch to work on.  I think 'switch'
is something SVN veterans may find familiar.  Both are much better
than ch/swbranch that are overly cryptic.
