Hi, I often commit "useless" code, for example before going into weekend or for saving some state during a dev process often thoses commit are simply useless and the commit message looks like "COMPILE ERROR - temporary save .... " at the end I have LOT of theses commits that are useless and I want to save some space/time/tree complexity merge multiple sequential commits (without branch) into one is it possible? according to my knowledge of git, removing the commit and rewriting the last commit log so that it better reflect the modification will do the job but I'm not sure git allow it... thanks JLM
