Hello everyone,
I'd like to get a bit of additional output in "git rebase".
Say that "123458" is a commit with "branch1" associated; then I'd hope for output like
    pick 123456 ...
    pick 123457 ...
    pick 123458 ...
    #x git branch "branch1" --force # move the branch?
    pick 123459 ...
    pick 12345a ...

I have a few feature branches that are stacked upon each other; when moving a commit "down" to the release-branch I'd like to have the other branches at the matching "new" commit.

Of course I can simply fix up the "rebase" output in my editor - but I guess that might help a few people, that's why I'm proposing it here.

[ Yes, perhaps I'm doing it wrong, and should be using merge or something else instead; but it's the way I work, and I think it's a small enough change that won't cause problems, so I'm asking for it. ]

Best regards,
Phil
