The new name for an existing branch. The same restrictions as for
<branchname> apply.
+--sort=<key>::
+ Sort based on the key given. Prefix `-` to sort in descending
+ order of the value. You may use the --sort=<key> option
+ multiple times, in which case the last key becomes the primary
+ key. The keys supported are the same as those in `git
+ for-each-ref`. Sort order defaults to sorting based on the
+ full refname (including `refs/...` prefix). This lists
+ detached HEAD (if present) first, then local branches and
+ finally remote-tracking branches.
+

+--points-at <object>::
+ Only list branches of the given object.
