Issue 3241: Allow to create empty branches
Status:  New

When creating a new repository, one can choose to also create an initial empty commit on the master branch.

But when creating a new branch, one can only branch off some existing commit.
It would be nice to be able to also create a new unrelated branch from the Web interface, using a newly generated empty commit.
