Still, can someone please extend the cited chapter of the user's manual,
Presumably you can. I'll jot down some notes for you though ;-)
so that it answers these questions?
- How do I insert some commits between other commits in a branch?
[TODO]
git rebase --interactive (don't do this on published branches).
- How do I reorder commits in a branch? [TODO - mention "git rebase -i"]
git rebase --interactive
- How do I cut a branch? [TODO]
Define "cut". Possibly "git branch -d" or it's less forgiving
sibling "git branch -D", in case the branch to be removed isn't
fully merged.
- How do I replace a branch tip with the contents of another branch?
[TODO]
Easily understandable:
git checkout branch
git reset --hard otherbranch
The low-level way:
git update-ref [-m <reason>] [--no-deref] <full-ref-name> <newvalue>
There are more options to git-update-ref. The man-page lists them all.
- How do I reconnect a branch to another branch point?
[TODO]
I don't quite understand what you mean by "reconnect", but this might
do something along the lines of what you want:
git checkout branch-to-connect-to
git merge branch-to-be-connected

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
