Having two separate examples made sense in the original because it was
illustrating a standalone placeholder versus a placeholder coupled
with some literal text ("--template="). However, in the revised hunk,
there is no reason to use both "_<new-branch-name>_" and
"_<template-directory>_" as examples; the reader does not learn
anything new from the second example which couldn't be learned from
the first. As such, I'd drop the latter example.
