Package: git
Version: 1:2.11.0-3+deb9u2
git-rebase leaves entries like this in the reflog:
c15f4d5391 HEAD@{33}: rebase: checkout
c15f4d5391ff07a718431aca68a73e672fe8870e
It would be nice if there were an option to control this message.
Particularly, when another tool invokes git-rebase, the other tool may
specify an interesting --onto, and there is no way to record any
information about that --onto commit.
git-rebase already has a -m option, so I suggest
--reason=<reason>
It doesn't matter much exactly how the provided string is used.
Any of the following would be good IMO:
<reason>
rebase start: <reason>
I think:
rebase: checkout c15f4d5391ff07a718431aca68a73e672fe8870e <reason>
would be rather cumbersome.
