Fossil SCM

The 'branch new' command always attempts to use gpg signing, even if the clearsign setting is off.

The code appears to check for the "omitsign" setting rather than the "clearsign" setting. (checkin also checkd for the omitsign option; nothing appears to set it anywhere -- is this a relic of an older version?)

The --nosign option works to bypass signing; however this is not listed in the usage.

It seems like the preferred/expected way to create a branch is by specifying --branch on the checkin command. Still, this command is here, and it should work the right way (or be removed altogether). Here's a 1-line patch for this:
