Yes.  If it works at all (which I'm not sure it does), it would mess up
all the currently correct files by creating a *new* branch rooted at the
tip of the exiting branch with the same name as the existing branch,
which would then become nameless.  I don't know of any simple way to fix
the problem, you have to find the individual files that are wrong and
fix them one by one.
