The error messages shown when the branch command is misused
by supplying it wrong number of parameters wasn't meaningful.
That's because it used the the phrase "too many branches"
assuming all parameters to be "valid" branch names. It's not
always the case as exemplified below,
$ git branch
foo
* master
$ git branch -m foo foo old
fatal: too many branches for a rename operation
Change the messages to be more general thus making no assumptions
about the "parameters".
