Disecting the phrases in the above: - The original said "When you have resolved this problem", without giving a guidance how to resolve, and without saying what the problem is. The updated one says "conflict" to clarify the "problem", and suggests "git add" as the tool to use after a manual resolition. Modulo that there are cases where "git rm" is the right tool, the updated one is strict improvement. - The original said "If you prefer to skip" and the updated one says "You can instead skip". Neither gives any guidance to decide when it is the right thing to skip, but probably that is not needed. The updated one is shorter, which is a plus ;-) - The original said "to check out the original branch and stop rebasing", and the updated one says "to stop and get back to", which is in a more logical order. "the whole rebasing" used as a noun feels something is missing there, though. I wonder if "To get back to the state before you started 'rebase -i', run 'git rebase --abort'" is sufficient, without saying anything further about abandoning the rebase in progress (i.e. "and stop rebasing" or "stop the whole rebasing"). Thanks.
