Heya,
I use "git rebase -i" a lot, and as a result the output from 'git log -g' and 'git reflog' is a tad messy. That is, it's (afaik) not possible to check that after my rebasing did not mess things up using something like 'git diff HEAD@{1}'. I could of course tag the old head or something, but that's not the only problem, due to the clutter it's hard to find genuine commits. What I want is a way to see HEAD's movement _excluding_ any rebase activity. So if I change history from A-o-B-C to A-o-B'-C', I want to see C and C' in the reflog, but not B', since B' is often actually identical to B, the only reason that it changed is that I did 'git rebase -i' on some far-back commit.
Is there an existing solution to this?
