It's not "rewrite my commits so that they are the way I want them", it's about "change the order of my commits"/squash some/drop some. The polishing of the commits itself is done after finishing the insn sheet. > I do not see why we shouldn't allow people to edit any part of the above > to reword. Because it then becomes very hard to do any actual reordering. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, just that it's a bad idea to do it in 'git rebase -i', conceptually. Although what you suggest would be useful to me, I just think it should be a different command, git rewrite perhaps :P. Definitely not "git rebase -i --rewrite-message" though, becaue it is not at all about rebasing anymore. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
