Hi,
I've been working on a branch, say '2.1' and made a few commits on
it. We've made a release and tagged the changeset at which the commit
was produced, say 'tag2.1'.
Development continued and a few more commits were made on that
branch, the '2.1'.
As the development goes, we think it would be a better idea to
create a branch '2.2' that starts at the tag where the release was
made and keep '2.1' only for the maintenance of that release.
So here's what we have at the moment:
(tag2.1)
branch 2.1 : A <- B <- C <- D <- ... <- K
Here is what we would like to have:
changesets C up to K to be on a branch 2.2 starting at 'tag2.1':
(tag2.1)
branch 2.1: A <- B
branch 2.2: <- C' <- D' <- E' <- ... <- K'
Any hints?
I tried a few things like:
$ git checkout 2.1
$ git branch 2.2 'tag2.1'
$ git reset --hard 'tag2.1'
But that left me with an inconsistent repo...
$ git checkout 2.1
$ git branch tmp 'tag2.1'
$ git branch 2.2 'tag2.1'
$ git rebase --onti 2.2 tmp 2.1
But did not leave me with the expected result either.
Any hint is welcome.
Cheers!
