Sometimes, I need to reorder all commits, which include the initial commit, in my branch. So I tried it using git-rebase as follows, but it failed with the fatal error.

(supposing the initial commit is 793ea88) $ git rebase -i 793ea88^ fatal: Needed a single revision invalid upstream 793ea88^

How can I do that?
