Currently, there is no way to invoke the list mode with a pattern
because this is interpreted as branch creation.
Introduce a --list argument which invokes the list mode.

With no arguments, existing branches are listed and the current branch will
be highlighted with an asterisk. Option `-r` causes the remote-tracking
branches to be listed, and option `-a` shows both. This list mode is also
-activated by the `-v` option (see below).

wildcard (i.e., matched using fnmatch(3))

-a::
List both remote-tracking branches and local branches.
+--list::
+ Activate the list mode. `git branch <pattern>` would try to create a branch,

-v::
--verbose::
Show sha1 and commit subject line for each head, along with
relationship to upstream branch (if any). If given twice, print
the name of the upstream branch, as well.
+ `--list` is implied by all verbosity options.
--abbrev=<length>::
Alter the sha1's minimum display length in the output listing.
