Description

We had a case today where a user accidentally created a branch for an RFD number which is already on the default branch in the published state. This should be a no-op and we should be ignoring the branch since it is not authoritative. In practice a new revision was created with the contents of the new branch.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing the branch-processing path for RFDs already published on the default branch, then add or update a regression test showing that an accidental branch is ignored and no new revision is created.
