Hi!

I use this little command to apply iterative rebases, which are easier
to handle when there are large conflicts.  Are you interested in it?

	$ cat $(which git-rebase-walk)
	#!/bin/bash

	set -Eeufo pipefail;

	git merge-base HEAD "$1" \
	| xargs -I{} git log --oneline {}.."$1" \
	| cut -f1 -d' ' \
	| tac \
	| while read -r c; do
		git rebase "$c";
	done;

The source code is trivial, so I guess I don't need to explain much.
It behaves quite nicely, IME.

You may of course want to adapt it a little bit for merging in git(1).
I could help improve it a little bit.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
