Research direction
Start with pygit2/repository.py around line 1223 and the Repository.create_branch call shown in the issue. Check the underlying libgit2 branch-creation API to determine whether an unborn branch is supported and what behavior the Python API should expose; done means the intended behavior is implemented or clearly documented.
