From: Kaartic Sivaraam <kaarticsivaraam91196@xxxxxxxxx> The documentation for 'create_branch()' was incomplete as it didn't say what certain parameters were used for. Further a parameter name wasn't very communicative. So, add missing documentation for the sake of completeness and easy reference. Also, rename the concerned parameter to make its name more communicative.
