I was not questioning that "You can also reorder" is dangerous in any way. What is dangerous is to give an illusion that it is safe to use "rebase -i" without reading a decent documentation that does not even say that reordering is one of the primary purpose of the command, and the mindset that it is OK to give such an illusion with these reminder lines. -- 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
