I didn't know private branches had a default name. I thought creating any
new branch required supplying a name.[1]
But yes, branch names can be re-used. This is because branches are
identified by tags on commits. While a special table could be used to
prevent this, no one has had enough of a problem with this to warrant
impeding re-use of branch names.
[1] Other than accidentally created, unnamed branches. Fossil calls these
"forks". Unfortunately, the larger open source community uses "fork" to
describe an intentional, persistent branch. such as gimpShop is a fork of
GIMP.
