They're called commits in git, and yes it's possible. They are called
orphan commits and it's what you get when you do the first commit in the
repository.

You can do this with 'git checkout --orphan somebranch'. Notice that the
index will be kept, you'll need to either use 'git rm' or 'git add -A'.

There is a longer explanation in the manpage for 'git checkout'.
