Indeed, I bet most people who use this workflow think of git rebase -i origin or "git rebase -i HEAD^^^^" (where I normally figure out how many commits I need to go back and type the right number of carets) as a magic command that does what we want, without necessarily thinking about why it works the way that it does. I can guarantee that most of the time I don't think "hmm, so I'm going to be rebasing my topic branch onto origin so I can make some changes." Nope, it's, "I'm going to futz with the commits to get them just right". - Ted -- 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
