HI,

[Apologies if this is not the right place to ask; please let me know if so...]

I know "tg depend" only has the "add" subcommand right now, but is there a manual way of getting the effect of a hypothetical "tg depend remove"?

For branches which do not introduce any changes of their own, can I just "tg delete" the branch and "tg create" it again with the reduced list of dependencies? How does this affect the remote (which would still become a forced push of some kind).

And is there a way to do this for dependent branches which *do* have changes of their own? Even if it is manual and comes with "here be dragons" warnings :-)

Thanks,
Sitaram
