I'd recommend becoming familiar with rebase -i anyway -- it's just
plain useful, and really almost trivial to use once you've tried it.
Fixing comment typos is simple using the "r"/"reword" directive, but
the ability to rearrange, drop, and merge commits, is also very
handy and easy using rebase -i.

is delayed and you get impatient, so you have to kill someone on the subway.
