Mostly with git-rebase -i one is reordering the most recent commits, which are at the bottom. Personally, I am often reordering commits that are as yet unpushed, so for ease-of-thinking I type git rebase -i origin/master again and again. Hence the early lines are probably already sorted into a nice order and it's commits at the bottom of the list that need a bit of massaging. At present it's easy to get to them because a shift-G or ctrl-end, or $END_OF_FILE takes you there. With the above change it's now more steps to move to the interesting part. Now if you were suggesting flipping the sort direction at the same time, I could get on board - but that is perhaps one confusing step too far. > That is the reason why git commit leaves the first line empty in > its initial template.
