there are no negative implications; overlapping branches have been part of the
intended design since the beginning.

if you like we can add a new command like "monotone branch <newbranchname>"
which is a short form for "monotone cert <current-id> branch <newbranchname>";
I don't really know how much it's good or bad to "hide" the branch-is-a-cert
notion from users. my hunch is "not much".
