git rebase -i onto HEAD~n

Hi,

Is it possible to use git rebase -i for the following use case, in a local branch?

$ git reset --soft HEAD~3 $ # magically squash HEAD~2 & HEAD, ignoring HEAD~1 (which should be discarded) $ git commit -m "new commit replacing current HEAD~2 HEAD, without the commit HEAD~1 (to be discarded)"

I get the error below.

    grep: /home/user/project/.git/rebase-merge/done: No such file or
directory
    Cannot 'squash' without a previous commit

Or could you please suggest another command which is meant to this.

I must mention, that HEAD~3, in my case is the first commit, but I don't think that makes any difference.

$ git --version git version 1.6.0

Best regards, Alok
