History of !orphan

• To create an orphaned branch(unrelated to existing history): `git checkout --orphan newbranchname`. This will leave your index/worktree as-is(use `rm .git/index; git clean -dfx` to delete EVERYTHING). If you get 'error: unknown option `orphan`' see !orphan_old. For an empty/null commit see !orphan_null.

• To create an orphaned branch(unrelated to existing history): `git checkout --orphan orpanbrname` Note your index will be dirty (`rm .git/index; git clean -dfx` will clean/delete EVERYTHING). To create an orphan branch with the null/empty commit on it, run `git checkout -b emptybranch $(echo "empty" | git commit-tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904)`
