Re: git rebase --interactive commits order

I don't understand. Why not just _display_ the commit in reverse order?
Then, from the user POV commands like squash, fixup, etc would apply in
reverse order too (from up to down); keeping the mental model for "apply
against ancestor".

Yes, this is what has been suggested. Just display in reverse in the
editor, and on save read the tasks to be done in a reverse manner or
simply reverse the tasks to be done before processing normally.

In fact I can already implement it in my editor by reversing the
commits (vim, some command), doing my stuffs, then reversing it back
before saving. It's pretty error prone because if I forget to reverse
them back then bad things happen, so it'd be nice if rebase handled
this for me.
