Do you mean @{-1}?

Maybe we could list a copy of the todo list in the comments, as a
reference for double-checking.  Such a list could even be used for a
final check before applying, that would ask confirmation if the set of
patches has changed, and offer to edit again.  The same config item
(eg. advice.interactiveRebase ?) could be used to hide the note and
the check.

Mm, but intentionally dropping commits is common, no?

What would be nice is to be able to do

	git rebase --change-of-plans

and somehow get my editor of choice to open with the original todo
list (read-only) and the current todo list (read/write).

Well, a person can dream. :)
