Re: Newbie: report of first experience with git-rebase.

I've been using rebase just about every day for close to a year and it *still* annoys me when it happens. Especially the "Did you forget to git add?" part of the message. The thought that always goes through my head is, "No, Mr. Rebase, I did NOT forget to git add. I remembered to git add, then you were too stupid to do the right thing after that."

Just happened to me this morning, in fact: I had a quick hack in place to work around a bug, the bug got fixed for real, and I rebased. In the process of conflict resolution I saw that my workaround wasn't needed any more and accepted the upstream version of that particular part of the file. Ran git-add on it, then rebase --continue, and boom, was accused of forgetting to run git-add.

It is a minor annoyance and nowadays I just sigh a bit and run --skip instead, but it'd be nice if it didn't happen. I don't like having to care whether or not I happened to change other files in a particular commit after I resolve conflicts in one file in favor of the upstream version.
