With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches
to be reapplied, so that you can reorder and/or delete patches.
Such a list will typically look like this:
pick deadbee The oneline of this commit
pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
...
It's not at all obvious from your commit message or the documentation
where this list comes from. At first look I thought I would have had
to type it in. It took digging into the code to be sure how it
worked. You probably want to mention in the documentation that the
list is generated from the arguments and given in a text editor.
Is there a way to say "Oops, that's the wrong list. Don't do
anything."?
Perhaps starting the list with a header like the following would make
it more user-friendly (Obviously requires s/#.*$//):
# Rebasing $from..$to onto $commit
#
# Commands:
# pick = use commit
# squash = meld commit into previous
# <<More useful information here>>
However, those are nits to take a good idea to a great one. I like
it very much.
