**        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 contents on this branch
**          --nosync              Do not auto-sync prior to creating the branch
**          --date-override DATE  DATE to use instead of 'now'
**          --user-override USER  USER to use instead of the current default
**
**        DATE may be "now" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS". If in
**        year-month-day form, it may be truncated, the "T" may be
**        replaced by a space, and it may also name a timezone offset
**        from UTC as "-HH:MM" (westward) or "+HH:MM" (eastward).

**    -v|--verbose               Show a diff in the commit message prompt
**    --no-prompt                This option disables prompting the user for
**                               input and assumes an answer of 'No' for every
**                               question.
**    --no-warnings              Omit all warnings about file contents
**    --no-verify                Do not run before-commit hooks
**    --nosign                   Do not attempt to sign this commit with gpg
**    --nosync                   Do not auto-sync prior to committing
**    --override-lock            Allow a check-in even though parent is locked
**    --private                  Do not sync changes and their descendants
**    --tag TAG-NAME             Assign given tag TAG-NAME to the check-in
**    --trace                    Debug tracing
**    --user-override USER       USER to use instead of the current default
**
** DATETIME may be "now" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS". If in
