I want to insert an empty initial commit so that I can rebase and edit
files in the real initial commit. There is a --root option in
git-rebase but I can not find example of how to use it.
I googled some said it needs to create a new branch, I tried but it
failed to merge.

Bill,
This sounds like a hard way to go about things. Instead, you can edit
the files as you wish, "git add" the new edits, and then use
"git commit --amend" to alter the initial commit. Don't think rebase
would help in the situation you describe.

Sean,
Yes, you are correct. git-rebase does not help much. It has to initialise
another empty git repo and copy all commits to there.
