Ralf,
Perhaps that should be:
- * The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
+ * The option parsers of various commands that create new branches (or
rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
- allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by
- creative abuse of their command line options, which only lead to
- burn themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash
- now.
+ allowed to give a branch a name that begins with a dash by creative
+ abuse of their command line options, which only led to burning
+ themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash now.
