Re: Removing a commit from a local branch

"Chris Packham" [off-list ref] writes:

Consider the following example. The maintainer has the following
branch locally

  todeliver: A-B-C-D

He is happy with commits A, C and D but wants to reject B. Ideally I
want to be able to say
  git rebase --onto <parent of B> <child of B> todelvier

and get
  todeliver: A-C'-D'

I know that <parent of B> can be referred to as B~1 but what about
<child of B>? I've read through the man page for git-rev-parse and
nothing stands out as child of commit X.

Is there a better what do achieve what I'm after?

Yes, I think it would be easier to either use "git rebase --interactive"
(with some script taking place of EDITOR, or something), or prod Stephan
Beyer (CC-ed) to finish git-sequencer...
