Hello,

I'd like to create a new branch, without any pre-existing data, for
purposes similar to git's html/man/.....

However, I've been unable to do that using the higher level tools.

Even starting from an empty git rep, I can't create a branch:

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
$ git branch empty
fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master'.

How were the different git.git branches created?

Regards,
Luciano Rocha
