Hi When I use git to edit a long change of commit there are two scenarios I meet: 1. edit existing commit - in this case I do "git rebase -i", stop in my commit, them run "git commit --amend" and them run "git rebase --continue" 2. rebase and solve conflicts - when I rebase (for example on top of main branch) and meet a conflict : "cannot apply commit A" I need to solve these conflict, then run "git rebase --continue", it easy to confuse and run "git commit --amend" and in this scenario, that leads to commit A and the commit before A to be squashed. My claim is, that there is no scenario that the user actually wants to commit (and not run "rebase --continue") when there are merge conflicts, therefore git should block this option.
As a reference to support my claim, I link 2 stack overflow threads of users that did this mistake https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41439424/i-amended-instead-of-resolving-conflict-in-interactive-rebase-can-i-undo https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11116572/git-commit-during-git-rebase-what-really-happens
WDYT?
