When trying to rename an inexistent branch to with a name of a branch

This sentence does not read well. Probably s/with a/the/ helps.


Thanks. Seems I missed it somehow. Will fix it.

that already exists the rename failed specifying the new branch name
exists rather than specifying that the branch trying to be renamed
doesn't exist.

[..]

Note: Thanks to the strbuf API that made it possible to easily construct
the composite error message strings!

I'm not sure this note adds a lot, since the strbuf API is not that new.


That was a little attribution I wanted make to the strbuf API as this was the first time I leveraged it to this extent and I was surprised by the way it made string manipulation easier in C. Just documented my excitation. In case it seems to be noise (?) which should removed, let me know.
