For many git commands, '-f/--force' is a way to force actions which would otherwise error out. Way more than once, I've been trying this with 'git branch -d' and 'git branch -m'... I've had these two patches sitting in my tree for 3 years now it seems. Here's a rebase. In v2 I rename force_create to force and spell out the "-f" behaviour for other options in the commit message.
