### Description
Adds first-class support for table branches across the Rust core and the
Python and TypeScript SDKs.
Rust
```rust
use lance::dataset::refs::Ref;
// Create a branch from main and write to it — main is untouched.
let exp = table.create_branch("exp", Ref::Version(None, None)).await?;
exp.add(batches).await?;
// Reopen the branch later: check out from a table, or open it directly.
let exp = table.checkout_branch("exp").await?;
let exp = db.open_table("items").branch("exp").execute().await?;
let branches = table.list_branches().await?;
table.delete_branch("exp").await?;
```
Python
```python
# Create a branch from main and write to it
branch = await table.branches.create("exp", from_ref="main")
await branch.add(data)
# Reopen the branch later: check out from a table, or open it directly.
branch = await table.branches.checkout("exp")
branch = await db.open_table("items", branch="exp")
await table.branches.list()
await table.branches.delete("exp")
```
TypeScript
```typescript
const branches = await table.branches();
// Create a branch from main and write to it
const branch = await branches.create("exp");
await branch.add(data);
// Reopen the branch later: check out from a table, or open it directly.
const checkedOut = await branches.checkout("exp");
const opened = await db.openTable("items", undefined, { branch: "exp" });
await branches.list();
await branches.delete("exp");
```
### Testing
- Added unit tests
- ran smoke tests against python and typescript sdks on local machine
### Next steps
- Add RemoteTable support
- Add Branch Comparison support
- Merge Branching support
