Hi, when creating a new branch in git, it is by default filled with the contents of the current branch. Sometimes a new but empty branch is needed. There are plenty of instructions in the web to achieve this with „dirty tricks”, i.e. fiddle around with git's internals. Which is poor design. Why doesn't git's branch command support opening empty branches in a clean an natural way? regards Hadmut -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
