From abe199808c6586047fb7255b80e3d17ffc26bf6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:10:08 -0800 Subject: git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn branch Running "git checkout -b another" immediately after "git init" when you do not even have a commit on 'master' fails with: $ git checkout -b another fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born This is unnecessary, if we redefine "git checkout -b $name" that does not take any $start_point (which has to be a commit) as "I want to check out a new branch $name from the state I am in".
