This didn't worked for me. Got following error: cat: unrecognized option `--amend' Try `cat --help' for more information. error: There was a problem with the editor 'cat git commit --amend'. Please supply the message using either -m or -F option. Could not commit staged changes. >> > I almost always use >> > >> > $ EDITOR=: git commit --amend Even this didn't worked for me: error: pathspec '.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG' did not match any file(s) known to git. error: There was a problem with the editor 'git commit --amend'. Please supply the message using either -m or -F option. Could not commit staged changes. Only "true" worked for me. Probably, i have an older version of git (version 1.7.2.2) One more thing. I couldn't get completely how this worked. Maybe any pointers to earlier discussions. The way i am testing it is: - Stop after a commit in middle of rebase using "edit" or "e" option - set EDITOR or GIT_EDITOR - change files - git add changed_files - git rebase --continue -- viresh -- 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
