;-) Be it graft or replace, I do not think we want to invite people to use these mechansims too lightly to locally rewrite their history willy-nilly without fixing their mistakes at the object layer with "commit --amend", "rebase", "bfg", etc. in the longer term. So in that sense, adding a command to make it easy is not something I am enthusiastic about. On the other hand, if the user does need to use graft or replace (perhaps to prepare for casting the fixed history in stone with filter-branch), it would be good to help them avoid making mistakes while doing so and tool support may be a way to do so. So, ... I am of two minds. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
