Make new command take branch names

[chshersh]

Sometimes when I create a new branch, it's not attached to some issue. For example, I want to fix docs, but I don't want to create an issue for that. Because hit works with issue numbers, it's not possible to create branches not under some issue.

I propose to make hit new command a little bit smarter. It will parse argument, and if it's a number then it should keep current behavior. But if it's arbitrary text, it will create branch from this text prefixing with user name.

$ hit new fix-docs
> git checkout -b chshersh/fix-docs

I'm voting for this. I caught myself on this issue as well, I think it could be helpful.
I had another idea as the solution to this but I think your one is better. I thought about creating both: issue on GitHub and the branch with the returned number of the issue as we usually do. But, again, I agree that your solution is more reasonable 👍

@vrom911 Thanks for your support! I think your solution also reasonable. And can be implemented as a separate flag, like hit new -i "Bump up to GHC-8.6.5". Probably you don't want to create an issue by default, but I can see how this can be useful. Probably this flag makes hit new-issue command redundant?

Hmm, I like the option more (fewer words/commands to remember), so we can discuss this under that issue and leave this one only for branch creation. Thanks for clarifications and links, @chshersh !
