I don't think I've /ever/ run "rebase -i" and gotten the order correct on the first try. I have to note the oldest commit I expect to see, hunt around for it in the list, orient myself to the sequence, then try to rearrange things. Usually the rearrangement still winds up being in the wrong order. -- Steven E. Harris
