Subject: [PATCH v3] git-rebase-interactive: you can also add new commits to the "work list"
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 00:05:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1234220701-20652-1-git-send-email-barvik@broadpark.no> (raw)

Add some lines to document that you can also use 'git rebase
--interactive' to add new commits to the rebased patch-series.  This
is sort of running multiple 'git cherry-pick' commands in one go.

 'git-rebase' to stop after applying that commit, so that you can edit
 the files and/or the commit message, amend the commit, and continue
