Superseding does not work in git trees and is a disruptive operation to *all* commits following the point being superseded. Also, superseding preserves the startpoint, but *always* alters the endpoint. I suggest you take a look at how a git-repository is stored and learn about how the SHA1-hashes interact with the stored repository. -- Sincerely, Stephen R. van den Berg.
