Since I've did a similar fubar on the nvm branch a few weeks ago, I 
started on this already.

Check the nvm.commit_without_-b branch which implements an "mtn branch" 
command and removes the "-b" option from commit. The implementation has 
to be tweaked a little though:

a) set new_branch instead of branch in _MTN/options and let mtn commit 
honor the former
b) let mtn revert remove new_branch from _MTN/options if it is set there

Yep, absolutely useful!
