I’m still lost how I can split a checkin into two checkins.. 

let me try again…

Let’s say I have added file A…then never commit it…

a couple days later I add file B and hit commit

Suddenly I realize that two files were committed.  I want them both commited, 
but I want them committed as seperate checkins.

I can move the one checkin to a branch, but how can I *easily” split the 
checkin into two checkins, file A on one checkin and file B on the other 
checkin?
