Feature Suggestion - The ability to rename branches on the gitlab UI

Problem to solve

Making mistakes with branch names

Further details

Currently, users can't rename branches. If they make a mistake in a branch name they have to create a new branch based on that original branch and then delete the old branch. This isn't a friendly user experience.

Proposal

The ability to rename branches on the branch management page.
