-M::
Move/rename a branch even if the new branch name already exists.
---color::
+--color[=<when>]::
Color branches to highlight current, local, and remote branches.
+ The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.
--no-color::
Turn off branch colors, even when the configuration file gives the
default to color output.
+ Same as `--color=never`.
-r::
List or delete (if used with -d) the remote-tracking branches.
Do not set up "upstream" configuration, even if the
branch.autosetupmerge configuration variable is true.
+--set-upstream::
+ If specified branch does not exist yet or if '--force' has been
+ given, acts exactly like '--track'. Otherwise sets up configuration
+ like '--track' would when creating the branch, except that where
+ branch points to is not changed.
+
--contains <commit>::
Only list branches which contain the specified commit.
