Re: [PATCH] rebase --fix: interactive fixup mode

Clemens Buchacher [off-list ref] writes:

Interactive rebase is frequently used not to rebase history, but to
manipulate recent commits. This is typically done using the following
command:

 git rebase -i HEAD~N

Where N has to be large enough such that the the range HEAD~N..HEAD
contains the desired commits. At the same time, it should be small
enough such that the range HEAD~N..HEAD does not include published
commits or a merge commit.

[...]

 git rebase --fix

By default, the range is limited to a maximum of 20 commits.

Given the name I would expect --fix to rebase far enough to make recent
fixup!/squash! commits take effect.  Perhaps name it --recent?

(And I also think that the 20 is rather arbitrary...)
