Just like how you can click on the kebab menu of a commit and "Add empty commit above"/below,

It would be very cool if you could click a button inside of an empty branch and create an empty commit inside that branch.

that would be helpful for when you have multiple stacked branches and you added a new dependent branch in between two branches and you want to drag some changed files to that branch and then worry about the commit description later, compared with having to make a commit first and then move the commit.

It would be even cooler if you could drag a changed file to an empty branch and it automatically creates a new empty commit to put the changed file in.

Thank you guys for this project it's honestly a lifesaver

Thanks a lot for reporting!

The UI is about to change quite bit, but I think this kind of branch display is going to stay. Hence the proposed improvements could definitely be made.

Your suggestion about dragging into the empty space makes me wonder of dragging into the space between two commits would alleviate the need for ever creating an empty commit in the first place.

CC @PavelLaptev as this is also about UX.
