Feature request: auto-create new branch if no --branch-name flag is supplied #90

Describe the solution you'd like Add functionality to create a new random branch name if one was not provided via the --branch-name command. This could make it easier to use git-xargs because many new users get tripped up on needing to iterate against new branch names when testing out their jobs.

The branch name generation could use a UUID-like string algorithm to avoid collisions with existing branch names.

Closing as I'm no longer working at Gruntwork and this issue is stale.
