Maybe I'm missing something from reading the docs, but I couldn't see
how to create a new branch in an existing repo that has no ancestor. I
would like to do something like what git.git does with some of the
other ancillary branches like "man", "html", and "todo".

I was hoping to do something like "git branch --no-ancestor
new-branch-name" but didn't see anything in the documentation that
describes the necessary branch options.

Or, am I looking in the wrong place?
