Reading your code a bit more carefully, I realize that my suggestion
doesn't give you the opportunity to base the new branch on anything
but HEAD. So change the second bullet to
* if the user enters a name that's not the name of an existing
branch, display a prompt like this
Creating new branch "foo". Where should it start?
Tab complete on existing tags and branches, but accept any
committish. Create the new branch and switch to it.
This bit of UI could obviously be reused to make create-branch and
create-tag commands that don't switch the current branch.
