git: move some recent commits from master to a new branch

blog.md

Sometimes, I find myself in a series of commits which should have been done in a separate branch:

A - B - C - D - E - F (master)
            ^- first commit that should not be in master

Here's what it should look like:

A - B - C (master)
         \
          D - E - F (branch)

And here's what to be done:

(master)$ git checkout -b branch
(branch)$ git checkout master
(master)$ git reset --hard C

First, create the branch off the last commit, then go back to master and reset it to ref C. Done.
