Bug Description
The current user interface for unlinking a branch from a bug is
confusing. When I clicked the little "show me details" arrow beside
the linked branch and saw "Update" and "Delete" I knew what "Update"
meant; however, "Delete" was ambiguous and scary. I was concerned
that my branch would be deleted by clicking it. I think it would be
much more clear if it were called "Unlink".

I agree - this is quite confusing. As a first measure, renaming the button text to 'Unlink' is probably a step in the right direction. A more advanced UI may choose to display some text explaining what each action does.
