In other words, instead of

	git add -u && git rebase --continue

you would want a quicker way to say

	git rebase --continue $something_here

If that is the case, that is understandable to me. Is the "-u" (I think "git add -u" is short for "--update" but I didn't check) taken as a valid option to "git rebase"? If not, that $something_here could be "-u".

Thanks for pinging the thread; otherwise I would have forgotten, especially because not many other people were involved in the discussion to begin with.
