Hi Matthiew,

>
> You don't understand what an orphan branch is.

I do not think so. I wanted to create a branch with a commit that has no parent,
and I think that this is called "orphan branch".

I wanted also to have another branch, pointing to a different commit,
the difference
being that this contains binaries, and the other does not.
So, having two references pointing to the same commit is not a problem for me,
but it is not either the solution.
