The norm seems to be that the usage string should not be indented.

This could be local to cmd_branch.

Why not simply check_ref_format(name)?

All other places that call resolve_ref passes a ref created with
git_path. I don't know if this should too.

Missing punctuation at the end.

Perhaps usage() would be more appropriate here.

Ending punctuation.

It would be more consistent to leave out the space before the
paranthesis. Also goes for the implementation of create_branch as
already mentioned.
