Hi All, I'm in a bit of a pickle! :) So I've come to ask for help from the guru's here. My story is not unique but somehow the various suggested solutions don't seem to work in my case. * I was working on a feature which was supposed to be done off our 'dev' branch. But instead I forgot and branched out my topic branch from master (or as we call it 'stable'). * I did 2 commits and finished off my work. Only later realizing that it had to be done off 'dev'. * Now I want to move my 2 commits (which are the top 2 commits on my topic branch) to a new branch which is branched off 'dev'.
I had a situtation similar to this a while ago and used the --onto option to rebase. The details are at http://nibrahim.net.in/2012/01/09/moving_topic_branches_in_git.html [...] -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
