"-f" *is* a valid branch name and can be used and deleted:
$ git checkout -b -f next
Switched to a new branch "-f"
$ git checkout next
Switched to branch "next"
Your branch is ahead of the tracked remote branch 'origin/next' by 2 commits.
$ git checkout -- -f
Switched to branch "-f"
$ git checkout next
Switched to branch "next"
Your branch is ahead of the tracked remote branch 'origin/next' by 2 commits.
$ git branch -d -- -f
Deleted branch -f.
