Good job, Eric! and thanks. :) Thanks for the extra QA and fix. > By the way, I do not quite understand the reasoning behind not > moving the head being rebased until the finalization phase. That's because my original patch that only used git-merge, which didn't let me manually commit with all the information from a previous commit. > Also I think --skip would be straightforward.

Another consequence of relying on plain git-merge in my original patch. --skip should be very doable now that we can specify the correct base. I'll look into it more when I'm more awake. -- Eric Wong - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
