hi Charles,
is this a branch that is local and only visible to you?
if yes i would do the following:
1) delete the fix-up branch:
($ git checkout master)
$ git branch -d fix-up
2) create a new fix-up branch from HEAD on master:
($ git checkout master)
$ git branch fix-up
at this stage both master and fix-up point to the same commit.
fix-up is where it should be, master is "too far". you are sitting
on master (HEAD points to master).
3) rewind master back to where you wanted to be:
$ git reset --hard <hash>
master now points to <hash> whereas fix-up is few commits ahead.
obviously i wouldn't do this if you have already pushed the commits
to some remote master.
good luck!

Hi All
I screwed up by making a working branch but not switching to it.
ie something like
git branch fix-up
edit edit
git commit
edit edit
git commit
Now I have a few commits on master that I really wanted on fix-up and
fix-up
is where I wanted master to be.
I think I can fix this by using something like
git reset --soft HEAD^^
git checkout fix-up
git commit ...
But can I fix this by flipping the names around as follows?
git branch -m master tmp
git branch -m fix-up master
git branch -m tmp fix-up
Thanks
Charles
