If "--force" is made to mean that, it might be easier to discover to the users, but I have no strong opinion on that (meaning: there may be downsides to allow use of "--force" to override this safety, given that "-B" is already considered as a "forcing" version of "-b"). > `git branch` has no flag and will die even when `-f` is used If "--force" does not force it, I suspect it should be considered a bug. Thanks.
