How to create the branch from specific commit?

Hi, this is not possible right now. I never had enough time to finish #8 which is outdated now. I have to rewrite it to add detached mode which basically allows any commit hash to be used as well as a branch name in many commands.

Are you using json-git? What is your use case?

Hi) Yes I try to use json-git. And I attached little bit modified gitgraph.js for flow visualisation.

In my project I have a lot of object configurations stored in database. And I want to make complete repository of it with ability to fork(copy) repositories. Everything is working perfect and as expected. I did little correction to createRepositiory.js for storing branch name in the commit. I need it for drawing graph with gitgraph.js.

            var commitHash = commitStore.write({
                branch: repository.branch,  /// <--------------
                author: author,
                date: new Date().toISOString(),
                message: message,
                treeHash: treeHash,
                parent: repository.head
            });

The only thing I lake now for complete version control of my data is creating new branch from any commit and checkout any commit.

Thanks for great library!
