Are you sure you didn't get the arguments to rebase reversed? ===end=== Sorry, I did not write down exactly what I typed. But the situation was the latter: git rebase dev topic While looking at the man page to get the arguments right, with dev being "upstream" and the branch to rewrite last. I suppose I _could_ have gotten it backwards. --John (please excuse the footer) TradeStation Group, Inc. is a publicly-traded holding company (NASDAQ GS: TRAD) of three operating subsidiaries, TradeStation Securities, Inc.
