Re: Merging commits together into a super-commit

But there are still some places where an experienced git user runs
into some awkward situations trying to use stg. For example, "stg
refresh" is basically always doing the equivalent of "commit -a" so
there's annoyingly no way to refresh only some of the modified state
into the commit.

List the files to refresh and you get what you want.

	stg refresh file1 file2...

Also, if I want to edit a commit message while under the influence of
stg, how do I do that? If I do "git commit --amend" will I seriously
confuse stg, (I'm guessing I would, but I don't know).

	stg refresh -e

[...]

Plus, all the stuff that stg provides to allow it to be used
standalone ends up just being noise to the git user that just wants to
do some stack-based manipulation of an unpublished branch, for
example.

So, I'd really like to see something more integrated into git itself
that provides some of the missing functionality.

I agree mixing stgit and git is not really comfy until you learn it and still
I mess things up somtimes. Also rebase seems quite a bit faster than stgit, but I
have not intuitive understanding for rebase so I get scared everytime. Having
a gui that lets me mark commits and "drag" them to the new location would
be nice.
