Ping YinThe history of git-rebase will go into reflog. This kind of behaviour makes me annoyed when using git-reflog where i can see so many useless intermediate log entries (generated by rebase).
So how about not recording the intermediate commits to reflog?

If I remember and understand it correctly, because currently rebase uses detached HEAD, the intermediate steps would go into HEAD reflog, but only final step would go into branch reflog...
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am also not clear about this.
If your are right, how can i look over the branch reflog. I know the
master@{1} syntax, but i want to see master@{1}, master@{2} until
master@{n} in a single command just as how 'git reflog' shows HEAD@{1}
to HEAD@{n}.-- Ping Yin

It says:
The subcommand "show" (which is also the default, in the absence of any subcommands) will take all the normal log options, and show the log of the reference provided in the command-line (or `HEAD`, by default).
So, 'git reflog show master' should get you what you want.
You may also want to check out the '-g' option to git-log. For example, 'git log -g master'.

Oh, wonderful.
However, i still think the intemediate commits of git-rebase needn't go into HEAD's reflog because it's totally useless.

I don't know, I can imagine a situation where I'm doing a rebase, I get a conflict, I type the wrong command, and so I lose a bunch of my intermediate work because I was an idiot. The reflog sounds like it would be helpful here as much as anywhere.
Have fun,

Actually I use it from time to time when I need to compare intermediate steps of _previous_ run of the same rebase while rebasing, if the current run needs to resolve conflicts (may be the same conflict, may be a different conflict, depending on what bases are used for the current run and the previous run).
Please do not break it.

OK, i'm wrong, it is a useful case.
