It seems like a more logical approach would be instead for "git
commit" to take a "--root" option that would create a new root commit
based on the current index and then point the current branch head to
the new root commit. Thus:
$ git checkout -b new_branch old_branch
$ # Manipulate or not
$ git commit --root
That's how people think.
Not this person.
I like the idea but I'd rather see:
git commit --no-parent
"parent" at least appears in gitk and therefore newcomers will prob
have a better chance of understanding the intent w/out needing to
otherwise unnecessary terminology.

I think this feels and sounds sensible. And better located within the
'commit' command, rather than 'checkout --orphan' which was more obscure
(and difficult to find).
