I guess what Pedro is asking is if there isn't a builtin way to do this. Which, if I understand correctly, there isn't. Perhaps though something like "git branch -N newbranchname" which then creates a new parentless branch. It could just be a shell script that does the above, but I wonder if there are no side-effects of the above? It sounds somewhat 'messy' to remove the index? Too 'low level' to do for a user I mean, what if sometime in the future we decide to store something in the index that -is- important? I reckon it would be cleaner to add an option for this. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier -- 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
