Re: [PATCH 2/2] Check for IO errors after running a command

Hi Junio,

And? How was that experience?

I am actually quite pleased how it worked out in the end; I never 
understood the syntax of rebase, and stayed away from it for that reason. 
By reworking patch-series into rebase -i, I learnt it on the way, and find 
it actually quite useful.

One thing we might consider, however: when rebasing, the current branch 
gets updated at each step. Some might consider this a bug, and prefer 
rebase to work on a detached HEAD, and only update the branch at the end, 
so that <branchname>@{1} refers to the state _before_ rebase.

Thoughts?

Ciao,
