Re: git rebase -i and the reflog

I use "git rebase -i" a lot, and as a result the output from 'git log
-g' and 'git reflog' is a tad messy. That is, it's (afaik) not
possible to check that after my rebasing did not mess things up using
something like 'git diff HEAD@{1}'.

Yes and no.  I too suffer from it but only when I rebase a detached HEAD
state.  If you rebased a topic, "git diff topic@{1}" (or "git diff @{1}")
would give you what you want.

Heya,

Ah, mhh, so the reason I'm seeing this cruft is that I'm using 'HEAD@'
instead of 'topic@'. It only makes sense that HEAD's reflog includes
every commit, and a topic's reflog includes just that topics. Thanks
for the quick reply, this'll make my life a bunch easier :).
