Ouch, sorry, that certainly sounds utterly broken. I have a suspicion that we would see more and more breakages like this in the near future, as there are folks trying to redo multi-commit commands in a single process. We need to be very careful to avoid the same mistake. Also makes me wonder if "git cherry-pick A..B" shares the same breakage.
