I did the usual fix-up-the-second-commit procedure, this time with 'git rebase -m'. The result is OK, but rebase writes something unexpected: git init echo a > x && git add x && git commit -m A echo b > x && git add x && git commit -m B echo c > x && git add x && git commit -m C git checkout HEAD^ echo b1 > x && git add x && git commit --amend -m B1 Here we have this history: A--B--C <- master \ B1 <- detached HEAD git rebase -m HEAD master git rebase --skip # B is in conflict; we don't need it git checkout master x # resolve another conflict Now look what rebase has to say: $ git rebase --continue [detached HEAD 90c7916] C 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) Committed: 0001 C Already applied: 0002 C All done. Notice "Committed: 0001 C" followed by "Already applied: 0002 C". I'd expect only "Committed: 0002 C".
