From cfaff3aac8063ec72f03c6761328c7fa44a15b34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 11:36:55 +0000 Subject: branch -m: allow renaming a yet-unborn branch In one of the next commits, we would like to give users some advice regarding the initial branch name, and how to modify it. To that end, it would be good if `git branch -m ` worked in a freshly initialized repository without any commits. Let's make it so.
