Two issues there:

* Deleting branches:

  I currently don't support this in fast-import, but I'll add support
  for it.  Its actually pretty simple to tell it to drop a branch,
  especially if the dang thing doesn't actually exist in the git
  repository yet (because its only in-memory).

* Creating a branch without refs/heads/ prefix:

  This is a bug.  I had good intentions by trying to verify the
  name was one that didn't contain special reserved characters,
  but I wound up also requiring you to create branches only in the
  refs/heads/ namespace.  That was not what I wanted to do.  I'm
  patching it tonight.
