Re: Need to change old commit (and regenerate tree)

Instead of (what I initially expected):

A--------o--------o--------o--------o(old B)--------o--------o--------o(old C)

A2--------o--------o--------o--------B--------o--------o--------C


So what I am missing here? Aren't the new commits B~1, B~2, B~3
identical to C~4, C~5, C~6 (respectively) in all ways so as to have
gotten them the same SHA1 and hence appear as what I expected them to
appear?

No, they have a different commit time, which is also part of the hash.
