git_branch_create

Create a new branch pointing at a target commit

A new direct reference will be created pointing to this target commit. If force is true and a reference already exists with the given name, it'll be replaced.

The returned reference must be freed by the user.

The branch name will be checked for validity. See git_tag_create() for rules about valid names.
