Yes, you're correct in that uncommit and assimilate add existing commits to the StGIT stack, but in different ends: uncommit grows the stack by incorporating commits that precede it, while assimilate grows the stack by incorporating commits that follows it.
I think I also prefer a separate command for this as they have slightly different goals and users could easily confuse the options of a more powerful 'uncommit'. -- Catalin - 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
