May not be the best, but you can try this: * After switching to your brach, do "git rebase -i <your commit>" * In the edited, change "pick <your commit>" to "edit <your commit>, and close the editor * The rebase operation will pause for you. At that point it's in a state where you made <your commit> * You can now do a "git commit --amend", edit your commit message and perform the commit as usual * Once you're done, you can finish the rebase with "git rebase -- continue" HTH :J --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
