Yeah, that's what I read from the Magnus's message, too ;-) Just factor out Notepad++, as it seemed a bit tricky to set up, and see what happens. Since and interactive rebase wants to have an editor, stock bundled vi seemed like a good pick for debugging. If all works as expected, try to plug Notepad++ back in and concentrate on doing that thing correctly. That said, vi as shipped in GfW is indeed a bit long in teeth. But Vim also has a GUI version which looks just okay on Windows, and for those, like me, who invested into Vim's steep learning curve, working in a "normal" text editor is, well, not a pain, but it just does not feel right :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
