Here's a recipe for creating a branch in git with no ancestry, no doubt this has been noted on the internet by many already.
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/upstream
git rm --cached -r .
git commit --allow-empty -m 'initial upstream branch'
git checkout -f master
Why would one want to do the above? Well to keep two disconnected projects in one git repo, that's why!
