Hi!
I am rebasing a branch to combine a couple of commits. One is a revert
of a previous commit. Since there are commits in-between, I do
"squash" to make sure I get everything, and then add the actual change
on top of that. The problem is that rebase stops with a confusing
error message (from commit, presumably):
$ git rebase --interactive
[...]
You asked to amend the most recent commit, but doing so would make
it empty. You can repeat your command with --allow-empty, or you can
remove the commit entirely with "git reset HEAD^".
rebase in progress; onto 342b22f
You are currently rebasing branch 'mybranch' on '342b22f'.
No changes
Could not apply 4682a1f20f6ac29546536921bc6ea0386441e23e... Revert "something"
OK, so I should retry the command with --allow-empty, then:
$ git rebase --interactive --allow-empty
error: unknown option `allow-empty'
Nope, that's not quite right.
Running "git rebase --continue" does work as expected, but perhaps it
just shouldn't stop in this case?
