It's not a matter of pushing/pulling. I'm referring to local branches
only.
What I'd like to have is, using util-linux-ng as an example:
branch master: util-linux-ng plus local patches
branch vendor: util-linux-ng upstream
branch metadata: information on util-linux-ng, how to compile,
dependencies, etc.
I'd have no problems with the first branches. But when I wanted to
create the third, that shares no files with the others, I stumbled with
the problem of creating a clean branch. I really didn't want to create a
branch them do "git rm .".
Johannes's tricks did the thing. Thank you all.
Regards,
Luciano Rocha
