Well, there is no such thing as a stg branch. StGIT shares the branch
structure with GIT and the "branch" command works on the whole GIT
branch, with some additional things for handling the patches. Once a
GIT branch is StGIT-initialised (either by being created with "stg
branch" or by "stg init") it will always remain a StGIT branch and get
a reference in refs/bases/.

I've never thought anyone would see a different meaing for the
"branch" command. What you wanted to do was the reverse of the "init"
command. Maybe something like "uninit" or a "--uninit" option to
"branch".
