Subject: how to add an empty initial commit
Message-ID: <20090830005224.GC10952@debian.b2j>

I want to insert an empty initial commit so that I can rebase and edit
files in the real initial commit. There is a --root option in
git-rebase but I can not find example of how to use it. 

I googled some said it needs to create a new branch, I tried but it
failed to merge.
