Re: Removing a commit from a local branch

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'

you have an off-by-one error here.  You need B, not child of
B.  Problem solved :-)
