hi folks. I've forked a github repo which mostly contains a Perl script to which I have made extensive changes. Is there some file-naming etiquette to indicate this in my fork?
+ [2020-06-11T00:57:07Z] cos I was working in two different branches today. At some point, I did a commit in branch-A that accidentally included a couple of new files meant for branch-B. Later, I commited those same files in branch-B as well. I've done at least one additional commit in both branch-A and branch-B since then. How can I get rid of the extra files from branch-A, not as a file deletion commit, but as if they were never there?
+ [2020-06-11T00:57:41Z] cos In case branch-B ends up getting merged to master before branch-A does, I don't want the branch-A merge to delete those files. I want it to not have any effect on those files.
+ [2020-06-11T01:38:56Z] cos git restore, git reset, and git checkout all failed me in different ways - or I didn't use them right.
+ [2020-06-11T01:40:07Z] cos the way I ended up solving it was to copy the files I had edited to a temporary directory, using -D to get rid of the brnach, recreating the branch, and copying my changed files back in and committing.
