I'm using github, and when browsing commits I sometimes want to branch off from an old commit. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this from the github web interface, they only seem to allow branch creation from the latest master commit.
The suggestion on stackoverflow is: git branch branchname <sha1-of-commit> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2816715/ Which is ok. I was just wondering whether there's an easier way, but it's not not too bad to get the sha1 for a commit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
