The last time was when git webpage was refreshed and the "creating empty branch" in git book was removed and the "git checkout --orphan" command came. I am sure that the repository had files. I am not fully sure, but the repository might be https://github.com/Mkaysi/Limnoria, which contains orphan branches "scripts" and "master".

I will star this issue and try this when I need empty branch again. - -- Mika Suomalainen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key: http://mkaysi.github.com/PGP/key.txt Comment: gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x82A46728 Comment: Fingerprint = 24BC 1573 B8EE D666 D10A AA65 4DB5 3CFE 82A4 6728 Comment: Why do I (clear)sign emails? http://git.io/6FLzWg Comment: Please remove PGP lines in replies. http://git.io/nvHrDg Comment: Charset of this message should be UTF-8.
