A little search revealed that these are likely known bugs [1]. Would it make sense to print an appropriate warning message if a user runs rebase with "--preserve-merges --interactive"? Thanks, Lars [1] https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#_bugs ``` ## Jonathan Nieder, 2017-03-22 22:39 Subject: Re: Warn user about known Git Rebase bug?!

Sounds like a good idea. Care to suggest a patch? Thanks, Jonathan > [1] https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#_bugs ```
