Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) git init --bare foo.git && git clone foo.git/ foo && cd foo touch bar && git add bar && git commit -m init git push -u git switch -c a seq 1 3 > bar && git add bar && git commit -m 1 git push seq 11 13 > bar && git add bar && git commit -m 2 git rebase -ir # Works like git rebase -ir @{upstream} git push --force origin main:a git rebase -ir # No longer works like git rebase -ir @{upstream} What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) After force pushing, I still expected the rebase to work like git rebase -ir @{upstream}. What happened instead? (Actual behavior) The rebase defaults to a commit other than that of the tip of the upstream branch. What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Instead of behaving like git rebase @{upstream}, the rebase seems to default to rebasing on-top of the old upstream. git rebase -ir result in a todo like this: l onto t onto p f1cfbff 2023-04-18 2 Compared to git rebase -ir @{upstream} which results in a todo like this: l onto t onto p 01e3c92 2023-04-18 1 p f1cfbff 2023-04-18 2 Anything else you want to add: Please review the rest of the bug report below.
