Be clearer that the --fixup/--squash options can take any of the gitrevisions methods of specifying a commit, not just a 'hash'. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley <philipoakley@xxxxxxx> --- v1 It's not immediately obvious what different forms the <commit> option can take. Spell out, and refer to the git revisions guide, that any of the revision methods will work. On a side note, if one looks at the glossary, a <commit> links to <commit object> which links to <object> (and only tangentially "about" revisions) which then says "uniquely identified by the SHA-1", so it is easy to think one should use the sha1 here.
