How about a unified functionality that would also fix bugs 4462 and 5851:
1. Branch insets for (yet) undefined branches can be inserted in a
document via:
a) copy and paste from another document,
b) select a branch from Insert>Branches>Master>... in a child document
with named master,
c) select Insert>Branches>New Branch.
2. Branches that have instances (branch insets) in a document but are not
defined are automatically added to the branches list with default
settings (in an update function?).
3. (Optional) The defaults for new branches can be set in the
Document>Settings>Branches dialogue, e.g. adding a line to the config
table like e.g.:
Existing branches:
+------------------------------+
| Branch | Active | Colour | [Remove]
+------------------------------+
| |_ foo y X | [Change Colour]
| |
+------------------------------+
New branch:
+------------------------------+
| newbranch y X |
+------------------------------+
This would allow configuring the defaults in templates as well.
* Inserting a new branch inset would be a one-click action, e.g.
Insert>Branches>New Branch for a yet undefined branch or
Insert>Branches>Parent>.... for a branch defined in the parent doc.
In both cases, the lfun isert-branch [name] could be used (with a
different replacement for [name], of course).
* Undefined branches would get default name and settings, branches from a
parent doc would inherit the parent settings.
* Configuring could be done via the context menu (provided that bug 4128
"renaming branches not possible" is fixed).
