Re: Re-Root a Branch (UNCLASSIFIED)

Since there were no commits to the new project branch I essentially want
to make believe as if I had never done it and start again from scratch.
Deleting the branch as you suggested would certainly give me a fresh
start. Any reason not do just that instead of moving the branch tag?
