The feature I'm asking is to add an extra-step during rebasing, checking whether there's a reference to a commit that's not going to be included in history and asks the user whether the heuristics is correct and if she wants to update those references. Scenario: it can happen for a commit message to contain the ID of an ancestor commit. A typical example is a commit with the message "revert 01a9fe8". If 01a9fe8 and the commit that reverts it are involved in a rebase the message "revert 01a9fe8" is no longer valid -- the old 01a9fe8 has now a different hash. This will most likely be ignored by the person who's rebasing but will let the other people reading history confused. Giuseppe
