It's a simple reason why the output is different - this is the usage for "git rebase -i" (hence it is in git-rebase--interactive.sh). I guess this distinction would be slightly clearer if we removed the brackets from the usage like this: -git-rebase [-i] [whatever] +git-rebase -i [whatever] -- Erik "kusma" Faye-Lund -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
