What happens to the status of previous commit records when the Re-Create Feature Branch option is flagged during the Recommit Files operation?

When the Re-Create Feature Branch option is flagged during the Recommit Files operation, the status of previous commit records changes to 'Commit not in Branch'. This occurs because the action effectively creates a new feature branch and associates it with the current work, leaving the previous commits in a status indicating they are no longer linked to an active feature branch. This prevents confusion regarding the lineage of commits, ensuring that users can clearly see which changes are part of the new branch and which are not part of the current active development cycle.

This process helps maintain a clean and organized commit history, allowing developers to manage their work more effectively and simplifying tracking of changes across different branches. It emphasizes the importance of branch management and commit tracking within the version control system to avoid potential integration issues later on.
