Well if you want to take a backup you can take a copy from the first branch first, then overwrite the second branch

git checkout branchA
git branch backupA
git reset --hard branchB

And if you want to delete the old branchB

git branch -d branchB #( -D ) for force delete, but I prefer the small `d` first

The result now would be branchA which contains the content of the old branchB and a backupA which contains the content of the old branchA

git reset --hard branchB

This will blow away the complete history of the current branch and replace it with the commit specified.

Use with caution
