Re: [PATCH 1/3] rebase -i: handle --continue more like non-interactive rebase

Johannes Schindelin, Sun, Jul 08, 2007 04:01:29 +0200:

Non-interactive rebase requires the working tree to be clean, but
applies what is in the index without requiring the user to do it
herself.  Imitate that, but (since we are interactive, after all)
fire up an editor with the commit message.

Could we also have "git rebase <base> <branch>"?
I find it useful when I have many branches to rebase:

    ~/project @master$ git rebase master branch1
    ~/project @branch1$ git rebase master branch2
    ~/project @branch2$ git rebase master branch3
    ...

Otherwise one have to, for example, "git checkout branch1" first,
and only then run rebase-interactive. Checkout is not very pleasant
operation on windows if you have many files (well, nothing is pleasant
there, but this one have to be done often). Rebase-interactive is
*very* slow there, but I just could not part with it after having
tried it once :)
