** COMMAND: branch
**
** Usage: %fossil branch SUBCOMMAND ... ?OPTIONS?
**
** Run various subcommands to manage branches of the open repository or
** of the repository identified by the -R or --repository option.
**
** >  fossil branch close|reopen ?OPTIONS? BRANCH-NAME ?...BRANCH-NAMES?
** > fossil branch close|reopen ?OPTIONS? BRANCH-NAME ?...BRANCH-NAMES?
**
**       Adds or cancels the "closed" tag to one or more branches.
**       It accepts arbitrary unambiguous symbolic names but
**       will only resolve check-in names and skips any which resolve
**       to non-leaf check-ins.
**
**       Options:
**         -n|--dry-run          Do not commit changes, but dump artifact
**                               to stdout
**         -v|--verbose          Output more information
**         --date-override DATE  DATE to use instead of 'now'
**         --user-override USER  USER to use instead of the current default
**
** >  fossil branch current
** > fossil branch current
**
**        Print the name of the branch for the current check-out
**
** >  fossil branch hide|unhide ?OPTIONS? BRANCH-NAME ?...BRANCH-NAMES?
** > fossil branch hide|unhide ?OPTIONS? BRANCH-NAME ?...BRANCH-NAMES?
**
**       Adds or cancels the "hidden" tag for the specified branches or
**       or check-in IDs. Accepts the same options as the close
**       subcommand.
**
** >  fossil branch info BRANCH-NAME
** > fossil branch info BRANCH-NAME
**
**        Print information about a branch
**
** >  fossil branch list|ls ?OPTIONS? ?GLOB?
** >  fossil branch lsh ?OPTIONS? ?LIMIT?
** > fossil branch list|ls ?OPTIONS? ?GLOB?
** > fossil branch lsh ?OPTIONS? ?LIMIT?
**
**        List all branches.
**
**        Options:
**          -a|--all         List all branches.  Default show only open branches
**          -c|--closed      List closed branches
**          -m|--merged      List branches merged into the current branch

**        If GLOB is given, show only branches matching the pattern.
**
**        The "lsh" variant of this subcommand shows recently changed branches,
**        and accepts an optional LIMIT argument (defaults to 5) to cap output,
**        but no GLOB argument.  All other options are supported, with -t being
**        an implied no-op.
**
** >  fossil branch new BRANCH-NAME BASIS ?OPTIONS?
** > fossil branch new BRANCH-NAME BASIS ?OPTIONS?
**
**        Create a new branch BRANCH-NAME off of check-in BASIS.
**
**        Options:
**          --private             Branch is private (i.e., remains local)
**          --bgcolor COLOR       Use COLOR instead of automatic background
**          --nosign              Do not sign the manifest for the check-in
