Re: Announcing git-reparent

Just wondering, is the result different than something like

git checkout commit_to_reparent
cp -r * ../snapshot/
git reset --hard new_parent
rm -r *
cp -r ../snapshot/* .
git add -A

I think you are looking for "git reset --soft new_parent", which keeps
both the index and the working tree intact.
