branch: change the error messages to be more meaningfulks/branch-tweak-error-message-for-extra-args
The error messages shown when the branch command is misused by supplying it wrong number of parameters wasn't meaningful. That's because it used the the phrase "too many branches" assuming all parameters to be "valid" branch names. It's not always the case as exemplified below, $ git branch foo * master $ git branch -m foo foo old fatal: too many branches for a rename operation Change the messages to be more general thus making no assumptions about the "parameters".
