Hi,
Many of my ideas turn out to be really stupid, and I need to throw away my feature branch. So, I find myself doing this often:
# on branch menuconfig-jk $ git checkout master $ git branch -D<BACKSAPCE> # er, what was the branch name again? $ git checkout - # Ah $ git checkout master $ git branch -D menuconfig-jk
So, I scripted it for myself. Perhaps we should get the functionality in core as `git branch -Dc` (c for "current"; or something)?
Also, perhaps a `git describe -` corresponding to `git checkout -`? Then I can use it with --contains --all to get the name of the previous branch.
Thanks.
