The branch name part of the patch breaks how I work with multiple
branches and I will be locally "reverting" it in my branches
unless FreeBSD itself reverts it. For my context it even breaks
how I would work for main vs. stable/12 if I ever did something
with stable/12 . (I'm not using shallow clones, it is the branch
name removal that messes up my specific way of working.) In other
words, for how I choose to work, the branch name is not redundant.

Going in another direction: mixing gitup/clone-counting and the
branch name removal in the same commit and in the code structure
means that I'm unable to just skip a commit to deal with the
branch name issue.
