Subject: [RFC] git rebase --edit
Message-ID: <be6fef0d1002120044w5f14d061t52863fbc8b0bd304@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

sometimes, I need to edit a commit, and I find myself doing some
rather "mechanical" steps.

  $ git log #find the commit
  $ git rebase -i <commit>^
  $ #mark <commit> with 'e', save, exit editor

  Stopped at <commit>... <commit message>
  You can amend the commit now, with
  ...

Perhaps git-rebase --interactive could learn an option, say, --edit
<commit>, that

  1. determines where to start the rebase (instead of saying <commit>^ above),
  2. marks <commit> as 'e' in git-rebase-todo,
  3. start the edit process ("You can amend the commit now...").

The user would then proceed with the usual git-rebase --continue.

Is this a workable suggestion?
