When using the Recommit Files Git operation with the Re-Create Feature Branch checkbox, what happens to previous commit records?

When using the Recommit Files Git operation with the Re-Create Feature Branch checkbox selected, the previous commit records are set to a status of "Commit not in branch." This means that while the original commits still exist in the Git history, they will not be included in the newly created feature branch. This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where a user wants to create a clean slate for their new development efforts without losing track of prior work.

By setting these commits to this specific status, it allows developers to understand which commits are not currently relevant to the new branch they are working on, while still preserving the history of those changes for future reference or potential re-integration. This is essential for maintaining clarity in project history and ensuring that developers can manage changes effectively without completely discarding prior efforts.
