How To Create Empty Branch To Store Other Files

How To Create Empty Branch To Store Other Files

Sometimes, it's useful to create a branch that doesn't contain the main files, for example, to store other related files to the project, such as, media files, PSD, etc.

This procedure was taken from gh-pages
http://pages.github.com/

$ cd /path/to/repo
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/<branch_name>

$ rm .git/index
