Subject: creating a new branch without an ancestor
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 14:19:12 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d2e97e801002041919r2043d05cjfb114a466605d9a1@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
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?
