And of course I forgot to provide the footnote. Sigh. So here they are, the Git garden shears, intended to rebase a thicket of branches: https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/master/shears.sh The edit script will look somewhat like this: mark onto # branch "something" bud pick abcdef first commit pick abcde0 second commit mark something # branch "another-one" bud pick cafebabe yep, that's a different branch mark another-one bud merge -C 0123456 something merge -C 6543210 another-one cleanup something another-one So you see, I needed to introduce new commands: bud, mark, merge and cleanup (I actually also added a "reset" one). The fake editor I talked about is really the script itself, which detects that it was run as the fake editor, and which converts all those commands into the form "exec git .r <command> <parameters>...". The alias..r setting also points to the same script, so that I really only need one script. It's one big hack, but it works. Needless to say, my idea to support new rebase -i commands via config settings would be something I would use myself in the Git garden shears.
