For a feature I have checked out the files on X branch. After some implementation, I realized that I should have branched to Y. I would like to migrate my changes to the correct branch. The only solution which I know is to back-up my changes, undo checkout and branch to Y and restore my changes.
Is there any other easy way?

You can simply change the config spec of your view (in order to make sure any checkout would be done in the new branch)
First undo checkout all your files, with a
-keepin order to preserve your changes.Then update the config spec.
That will update your view (reload it if it is a snapshot view), but won’t touch/erase any local modification you currently have (ie the files you had checked out in the previous branch).
You can then checkout again those files, and check them in.
