I guess the problem is that the list shown in the editor says 'noop'. This does not happen without -p, so something is borked in the commit listing with -p. Which is no wonder: the code after line 652 in git-rebase--interactive.sh that handles -p is utterly incomprehensible. Remember: there is code that is so simple that it has no obvious flaws, and there is code that is so complicated that it has no obvious flaws. IMO (and I said so much back then), it was the biggest mistake of the whole patch series that it was so intrusive and changed everything. It's not like I did not warn anybody. The point is: you could _easily_ handle -p with _almost the same_ rev-list command; you'd just have to make sure that --no-merges is skipped. And then you only have to make sure that the current commit is the (possibly rewritten version of the) first parent of the next commit to pick.
