Now branch is the same tree object as "branch", but without the history.
Of course, you could be even nastier and di a direct
git-commit-tree branch^{tree} -p HEAD < commit_message
And it is not enough. Authorship information is lost. And you
have to be damn sure the "branch" starts directly at HEAD,
otherwise everything HEAD..branch is lost. It is complex
if you want it right.
