Re: [StGit PATCH] It doesn't make sense to sink below an unapplied patch

Another idea that's been kicked around is to have a general
reorder command, that spawns an editor and lets you move around
(and delete) patch names until you're satisfied. (This too would
be implemented in terms of push and pop of single patches.)

This of course sounds very much like "git rebase -i", but the
semantics would maybe not be identical.

For one, the StGit version would have to update StGit's metadata. :-)

One feature from rebase I'd like to see if this was implemented is
the "squash" option to join two patches. But it would probably be
called "fold" to keep with stgit terminology.

I actually started to write such a command this weekend, but I didn't
have time to finish it. I did however come to the conclusion that I'd
want to refactor the relationship between patches and commits first.
(Which was why I was so pleasantly surprised that you spent part of
the weekend doing precisely that!)
