+=item Renaming (etc.) branch while unstitched
+
+The previous HEAD,
+which will be pseudomerged over
+by operations like git-debrebase stitch,
+is recorded in a ref name dervied from your branch name.
+
+If you rename unstitched branches,
+this information can get out of step.
+
+Conversely,
+creating a new branch from an unstitched branch
+is good for making a branch to play about in,
+but the result cannot be stitched.
