Team, Recently I tried creating an orphan branch in an existing repo using git-checkout and git-switch. Both commands have an --orphan option. The results were different: git checkout --orphan <newbranch> retained the entire working tree, including subdirectories and their contents. git switch --orphan <newbranch> retained subdirectories but NOT their content. Leaving aside the question of whether or not this is a bug, there doesn't appear to be any formal definition of the term "orphan branch" in the git documentation. Am I missing something? Thanks, Craig
