When you start "git rebase -i" to reorder a few commits, you are presented with an editor buffer with 9 or so lines of help text and then lines you are supposed to edit, but most editors start with your edit cursor at line 1. IOW, _everybody_ has to move their cursor down at least 9 lines before doing anything meaningful (or they can remove 9 lines but that is the same thing). Could we please reorder the lines so that list of initial "pick"s come first and have the help comment lines at the very end? That is the reason why git commit leaves the first line empty in its initial template. It is to allow the user to immediately start typing. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
