Both the contributor and the maintainer were rather familiar with the workflow using tools before "rebase -i" appeared, and to them, editing an existing commit was equivalent to first plant yourself on the commit to be amended, issue "commit --amend", and continue on with other tasks (similarly, "picking" an existing commit is to cherry-pick the commit to the state whatever the previous sequence of commands left). In other words, they both thought in terms of the underlying command sequence and it did not appear unnatural at all to them. -- 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
