Of course, you could also automate it with a script: -- snip -- GIT_EDITOR='sh -c "perl -pi.bak -e s/pick/edit/ \"$1\""' \ git rebase -i HEAD~2 while test -d .git/rebase-merge do GIT_EDITOR='sh -c "echo \"Reviewed-by: Mini Me <mi@xxxxx>\" >> \"$1\""' \ git commit --amend && git rebase --continue || break done -- snap -- (Of course you would make HEAD~2 a parameter...) BTW what happened with the "amend" patches to rebase -i? AFAIR Peff or MadCoder (or was it j6t?) had patches to teach rebase -i the "amend" command, which would not fall back to the command line just to fix a typo in a commit message... I would like to have that.
