Hello,

I have a branch with a whole series of commits. I want to export this work to be customer (to their svn repo if that has any bearing on it). All the stuff in the history is irrelevant to my customer ("committing now, going to bed" etc.) so I'd like to create a new branch that only has one commit.. the end point with a new message. Is this possible?

Thanks again!
