Eh, there is no way unless you force an assumption of a particular workflow to everybody else. What you would say on the second command is not literally "<branch2>" but something like "work-in-progress", or "crap". Even an AI would not be able to guess if you wanted to create a branch on the other side, or wanted to put a lightweight tag to let people know where you are (possibly with the intention of removing it once you are done), and git is not an AI. -- 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
