Subject: Q: rebasing (moving) a whole tree (not just one branch)
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 21:05:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D83BB0A.8070307@dirk.my1.cc> (raw)

Hi,

I'd like to rebase a whole tree from A to B. Not just a single branch, 
but a whole tree. Let's say I have the following history:

--- A --- B
     |
     + -- C -- D
          |
          + E -- F

I'd like to rebase C and its descendants from A to B so it becomes:

--- A --- B
           |
           + -- C' -- D'
                |
                + E' -- F'

I know I can do it manually with

git rebase B C
git rebase C D
git rebase C E
git rebase E F

Is there a way to just say "rebase C and all after that from A to B"?

Dirk
