I created a new project branch off my Integration Branch. Before I
started work on the new branch a second project merged to the
Integration Branch. I would really like my new project to be built
using that new project's code base. Can I re-root the branch so that it
off of the new tip of the Integration Branch? Is that just a matter of
moving the branch tag the way I might move a symbolic tag?
Thanks.

Yes to both.

This sounds suspiciously like one of Dad's plots to build my character.

Since there were no commits to the new project branch I essentially want
to make believe as if I had never done it and start again from scratch.
Deleting the branch as you suggested would certainly give me a fresh
start. Any reason not do just that instead of moving the branch tag?

Only that it takes two commands instead of one. Either will work fine.
