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.
