+The __symbol__ may be a branch or bookmark name, a revision name (like "D123"),
+a task name (like "T123"), or a new symbol.
+
+If you provide a symbol which currently does not identify any ongoing work,

+
+If you provide the name of an existing branch or bookmark, Arcanist will switch
+to that branch or bookmark.

+If you provide the name of a revision or task, Arcanist will look for a related
+branch or bookmark that exists in the working copy. If it finds one, it will
+switch to it. If it does not find one, it will attempt to create a new branch
+or bookmark.
+
+When "arc work" creates a branch or bookmark, it will use "--start" as the
+branchpoint if it is provided. Otherwise, the current working copy state will
