Yes, I suspect that at the moment (i.e., in the absence of a large collection of examples to show their utility), both your ^{~custom} and my ^{first:rev-list args} are overengineered, and that they do something that is more clearly expressed using the shell's command substitution feature:

	git rebase -i $(git rev-list --merges HEAD | head -1)

So why did I suggest it?

I guess I was reacting to the implementation of the rebase-recent-commits command. I understand that it was a sketch, but it felt a little ad hoc. If it could be expressed as a clean two-liner, I would be more comfortable since the burden of maintaining it would be less.

Thanks for clarifying.
