[BUG] - git rebase -i performs rebase when it shouldn't?

[Eugene Sajine <euguess@gmail.com>]

Hi,


In case of this situation

       A  master
        \
         B  next
          \
           C  topic


$ git rebase --onto master topic
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
fatal: Not a range.
Nothing to do.

Which is OK.

When I fired up interactive rebase, it printed me “noop”, so I was
expecting it to do nothing and exited the vi, without deleting this
"noop". But it did performed some operation and I actually have commit
C lost, with topic pointing to the same commit as master.

$ git rebase -i --onto master topic
Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/topic.

I believe this is wrong.


Thanks,
Eugene
