arc feature D123 should check out the branch from revision D123 according to the help:
With name, it creates or checks out a branch. If the branch name doesn't exist and is in format D123 then the branch of revision D123 is checked out.
I thought it would work kind of like arc patch but create a branch with a friendly name (instead of arcpatch-D123).
When I run it that doesn't seem to happen:
$ git branch * master $ arc feature D11892 Branch D11892 set up to track local branch master. Switched to a new branch 'D11892' $ git branch * D11892 master
The new branch is just a tracking branch of master. The commits at D11892 and master are the same.
I added an echo $ex to ArcanistFeatureWorkflow.php:139 and saw the following error:
exception 'ConduitClientException' with message 'ERR-INVALID-SESSION: Session key is not present.' in /Users/elesh/Source/contrib/libphutil/src/conduit/ConduitFuture.php:54

Is this supposed to work, or have I misunderstood what it does?
For D11892 as used in the example above, I expected to see a branch named graceful-mod get created with the contents of the revision.
