To get you started: $ git grep "could not apply" sequencer.c=475=static int do_pick_commit(struct commit *commit, sequencer.c:628: : _("could not apply %s... %s"), $ git grep "Could not apply" git-rebase--interactive.sh=431=die_failed_squash() { git-rebase--interactive.sh:436: warn "Could not apply $1... $2" git-rebase--interactive.sh=460=do_pick () { git-rebase--interactive.sh:476: die_with_patch $1 "Could not apply $1... $2" git-rebase--interactive.sh:479: die_with_patch $1 "Could not apply $1... $2" So, it's the shell script. Now, read about shell escaping [1] and submit a patch. Thanks.
