Re: How to move a big branches to a new base?

2010/3/3 John Tapsell [off-list ref]:

I tend to keep my branches as small as possible - a few commits at
most.  And avoid merges like the plague.  This seems to work pretty
well.
Remember you can squash your commits together to keep the branches
clean and well-ordered.

squash is a powerful tools, but doens't help much in this situation.

In other word, one have to prevent a branch to becoming a tree.
Does it worth to have a new tool for such situation?
