Re: [PATCH v2] git checkout -b: unparent the new branch with -o

Resending orphan branch 'cheat sheet' again.  Gmail screwed it in
previous email.  See this using a fixed font:

Branch_A

You realize that you need a new empty branch.

Is the work tree clean?
|               |
Yes             No

Do you want to use anything from the work tree?          |
|               |                                        git reset
Yes             No                                       git branch -D Branch_B
|               |
|               git clean -df
|               |
