Hi,

A project I have has one branch – the trunk. I've been away from this  
project for a few weeks, and on returning to it, I've decided that the  
most recent commit (in which I switched over to using OpenGL for  
rendering) is not something I want to pursue at the moment. I would  
like to place this commit on to a branch that will effectively shelve  
it for possible later use, and have the trunk grow out from the  
version prior to the abortive openGL experiment.

I tried to do this by executing:

        fossil branch new Time-OpenGL-Test <the OpenGL commit's artefact id>

Here, the code is the commit of the openGL stuff.

However, if I look at the fossil UI, it looks like the open GL commit  
is still on the trunk, and that the branch I've created stems off from  
this. This isn't what I'm hoping for, what I want is for the openGL  
stuff to be pushed off the trunk.

My questions:

        Is there an easy way to retrospectively create a branch like I'm  
trying to do?
        Is there a less easy way to retrospectively create a branch like I'm  
trying to do?
        Can I fix up my current repository so that it branches as I'd like  
(by manipulating the tags on artefacts, or something)?

If I'm just being stupid here, and not thinking about stuff right,  
then help would be welcome!

Best regards,
        Benjohn
