Hi,

> First of all: git 1.6.0.6 gives you the unchanged graph after using
> rebase -i -p.

This is true and it is a far better behavior than now, but I think it's
not the expected behavior. (I have written about the behavior I'd expect
in another reply to the original mail.)

Also

	git rebase -i -p master

should do the same as

	git rebase -i -p --onto master master

or am I wrong?

But the latter does

	$ git rebase --onto master -i -p master
	fatal: Needed a single revision
	Invalid base

instead of resulting in an unchanged graph.
(Tested with 1.5.6.5, the only other version I have installed besides
my master branch)

Regards,
  Stephan
