Re: How to return from a branch

I forgot to mention I don't want to merge because the main trunk code
is now completely different to the branch I merged from. The software
project communicates with hardware device and there was a change of
communication methology due to a new model of the device being used -
the two branches are totally different. The bug I fixed only relates
to the original hardware, and does not apply to the current hardware.
