branch -m: allow renaming a yet-unborn branch

Browse source 
In one of the next commits, we would like to give users some advice
regarding the initial branch name, and how to modify it.

To that end, it would be good if `git branch -m <name>` worked in a
freshly initialized repository without any commits. Let's make it so.
