See comment on ticketbd33a464ae: The "branch" command seems to be an abandoned subproject of a developer who has not contributed to fossil lately. I do not know what its purpose is. I am of a mind to delete the command all together. Please take discussion to the mailing list. - Change priority to "Immediate"

- Change comment to "If I perform a <verbatim> fossil help branch </verbatim> Fossil do not mention, that I can pass the option <tt>--nosign</tt>. During creation of the branch, I was asked to pass my private key's passphrase to sign the creation. I did not want to do this and therefore interrupted the branch creation process. I tried the same command line and added a <tt> --nosign</tt> somewhere. This time the creation succeed without asking me for my passphrase. So I conclude that the description of the applicability of said option is lacking. But another three question: why to I have to sign the creation of a branch and not the creation of a tag? And what is the difference between <verbatim> fossil branch new test </verbatim> and <verbatim> fossil tag add branch sym-test </verbatim> And last but not least, what is the idea for a <tt>tag</tt>? I do not seem to be able to </tt>fossil update</tt> to a tag-marked version."
