A branch is a reference to a\ncommit (which is, logically, considered the tip of that branch). Thus an\nempty branch cannot exist before any commits are made to that branch.\n\n[0] For the purposes of network transfer. The way to create the first\ncommit ever in a repo (or in an orphan branch) is to have HEAD point to\nan as-of-yet nonexistent branch; but this won't help you in this case.\n\nCheers,\n cmn\n\n"}]}
