title: Moving committed git files to another directory
body: <p>I've been doing development work in a 'dev-test' directory and committed files along the way.  I now need to commit those same files to a differently named directory and remove the committed files in the 'dev-test' directory.  I'm not sure how to retain my working files.</p>
  
  <p>My 'dev-test' repo is local, but I have been doing pulls that are tracking as 'master', but I have not merged my code.</p>
  
  <p>Can I use git reset before my first commit of these files as other developers have been merging into 'master':</p>
  
  <pre><code>git reset --soft #commitID
  </code></pre>
