Subject: [PATCH] rebase -i: permit 'drop' of a merge commit
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2025 19:38:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37f6e34c-91aa-4e55-88e1-019d2e042df3@kdbg.org> (raw)
4c063c82e9 (rebase -i: improve error message when picking merge,
2024-05-30) added advice texts for cases when a merge commit is
passed as argument of sequencer command that cannot operate with
a merge commit. However, it forgot about the 'drop' command, so
that in this case the BUG() in the default branch is reached.
Handle 'drop' like 'merge', i.e., permit it without a message.
