"fossil branch new" simply creates a new check-in which is unchanged from
the previous check-in. It is equivalent to doing:
fossil commit -f --branch Minimal
So if you have fossil configured to ask for the PGP signature when you
commit (which is off by default) then it shouldn't be asking for the PGP
signature when you do the "branch new".
If it is asking for PGP signatures, that's probably a (minor) bug. I never
do "fossil branch new" myself - which is why I've never noticed this.
