This was news to me, but branching only works now if you actually have a project page posted on drupal.org. The handbook does not appear to mention this anywhere. If you don't do that first, you get this error when trying to create a new branch:

ERROR: no published project was found for this directory:

The instructions on http://drupal.org/node/17570 should add a note that you must have created a project page (with a link to http://drupal.org/node/add/project-project?) before you can branch your module. Also, it'd probably be a god idea to add the error message to the list of common ones on http://drupal.org/node/93958.

I added the info suggested at the top of the doc and would like someone to verify that it's correct.

Looks good to me, and is consistent with the other docs on this subject.
