Last time when I needed "git checkout --orphan", it created branch without any files. In my opinion this command should do what it did before or alternatively copy all files to new branch, but not automatically "git add" them. I cannot try that "git rm" right now, because I already committed those changes and git rmed everything in next commit. I don't think that a new repository would be good for this, because my independ branches are mostly branches, which contain scripts, which should be easily accessible in the same repository and are highly related to the repository, which contains them. - -- Mika Suomalainen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key: http://mkaysi.github.com/PGP/key.txt Comment: gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x82A46728 Comment: Fingerprint = 24BC 1573 B8EE D666 D10A AA65 4DB5 3CFE 82A4 6728 Comment: Why do I (clear)sign emails? http://git.io/6FLzWg Comment: Please remove PGP lines in replies. http://git.io/nvHrDg Comment: Charset of this message should be UTF-8.
