The commit message should describe the "why" here. I gave some reasoning
nearby in:

From your initial message, it sounds like this might also be fixing a
bug ("confusing that getting a branch before it has created"). Can you
describe that (and ideally show the fix with a test)?

From what I can tell, the patch itself _is_ an improvement. I just think
we need to explain why for the record.
