Am I missing something? I've checked the manual and word `orphan` or `--orphan` is not mentioned there, thus chances are it's unavailable. I also have searched issues, no luck.\r\n\r\nCould you please add an option to do `git checkout --orphan my-branch` via magit?

It's just that I am getting kind of annoyed, that everyone seems to think I have to improve branch/pushing *now*. I would like to make all changes in the domain at around the same time, on a feature branch, which can be commended on before it is merged to master. This would allow me to avoid adding features now and then later sacrifice them for other, in my opinion more important, features which happen to collide with features added earlier as temporary kludges. But I give up, I am going to add the requested features now, and then later deal with dissatisfied users when/if I remove them again."}}
