Yesplease. I've had this where I marked an entire patch series for reword only to discover on the first patch that I made a mistake, so I ended up having to type ":wq" some twenty times. It would have been much nicer if I could just have done ":cq" once and then 'git rebase --abort'. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
