Bug Description

If I want to associate a new branch with a bug I click 'add branch' then need to

 - realize that i can't add a new branch from here
 - click the code tab
 - click add branch
 - fill in the form
 - go back to the bug and add a branch
 - search for the id i just created

It would be nice if I could eg enter the url directly on the 'add branch to bug' page, and then maybe be prompted for other fields. This is probably a common way to add a new branch.

I think we should bump up the priority of this bug. It also bites when associating a branch with a series: entering the url is the obvious thing to do, and it's actually pretty hard to discover that you need to separately register a branch before we can link it here. Also it's been duped twice.

Surely we can do this for 1.2.3. Tim?
