I think it's actually time to start a branch.{c,h} library file for 
operations that deal with the porcelain-ish information about branches. 
This would go there, and a function to discard MERGE_HEAD and similar 
files (whatever they are, which isn't currently collected anywhere 
authoritative). Probably also most of the other stuff that should be 
shared between reset and checkout, too, and functions should probably 
migrate there from builtin-branch and builtin-checkout as they become 
needed, leaving the builtin-* code as command-line parsing and calls to 
these functions. In any case, I'll start with this.
