Hi,

  I often do   'git rebase -i HEAD~10'  to rebase.  Since afaics it
doesn't matter if you go back 'too far' I just always use HEAD~10 even
if it's just for the last or so commit.

  Would there be any objections to making  'git rebase -i' default to
HEAD~10  or maybe 16 or 20.  Having sensible defaults for commands
helps a bit with making it easier to use.

John
