How would you compute the set of commits to rebase sanely when > you have merges after your 10th direct parent commit? I didn't mean to suggest that -10 and HEAD~10 are the same thing. I would expect -10 to act the same when given to rebase as it does when given to format-patch. In both cases, you are asking the command for a set of commits. But as I said, I don't exactly know what -10 means to format-patch if there are merge commits because I've never tried to use it in such a context. j. -- 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
