(The answer is usually "create the branch in a separate repo and then
fetch it to the original one". But it feels a bit kludgy given the
otherwise seamless support for unrelated branches. (Not that I ever was
a big fan of unrelated long-lived branches in general.))

Just as kludgy, but I did this today by writing the name of the new branch 
in .git/HEAD then doing

for file in $(git-ls-files); do git-update-index --force-remove $file; done

Before creating the new files and "git-commit"ing.

Ok, this approach looks actually reasonable (contrary to the frequently
suggested rm approach, which is rather dangerous).

Perhaps git checkout --empty could do this?
