A simple answer and a more elaborate one. * It is the final step of "git rebase" which detaches HEAD while it operates these days. * You can drive sequencer backend from a front-end that rewrite history while rewriting tags, like filter-branch does. >>> What is important is: does it update reflog (correctly)? That is not very important question, as reflog updates would happen as long as you use update-ref automatically. Much more important question you did not ask is how it would interact with "sequencer --abort". Ideally it should rewind the ref update (and without relying on the user having reflog on that ref). I however personally feel that this "ref" thing is being a bit too ambitious. -- 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
