Yes, this is far from pretty.

My first thought was another level of subcommands:
stg branch NAME [COMMIT]
stg branch list
stg branch rename OLD NEW
But this would create ambiguities -- how do I create a branch called
"list"?. One could go with something like
stg branch NAME [COMMIT]
stg branch/list
stg branch/rename OLD NEW
but this is highly non-standard, and would probably confuse every
single new user. Perhaps with dashes instead:
stg branch NAME [COMMIT]
stg branch-list
stg branch-rename OLD NEW
Which is essentially what you proposed, but with more regular (and
more tab-completion-friendly) names.
