No such thing as an orphan branch · 605da51a
Unfortunately git-core uses the term "unborn branch" and "orphan branch" interchangeably. However, "orphan" is only really there for the checkout command, which has the `--orphan` option so it doesn't actually create the branch. Branches never have parents, so the distinction of a branch with no parents is odd to begin with. Crucially, the error messages deal with unborn branches, so let's use that.
