If you're going to do this, I'd have it fail if the branch exists and  
has a
non-suspended head.  If all heads are suspended then I'd consider  
letting the
branch command succeed - it would allow you to re-use branch names.

Apart from that, the changes to commit seem reasonable.  The changes  
to the
other commands seem like a fine design, but they're also a large  
change.  I'm
not convinced it would be worth it (but I don't feel strongly either  
way).
