There's no really good solution for batch editing commit messages. You can use interactive rebase, filter branch, or format patch, but you never get a nice complete list of messages to edit. Maybe this idea makes sense:
When rebasing interactively, I often see typos or other things, I'd like to fix. I can use the "edit 1234567" line for this, but this interacts with my original reason for rebasing. Fixing messages immediately would be the best. So allow to use a line like "message 1234567 My new message" working just like "pick", but replacing the commit message. For this to work well, add an option to "rebase -i" making the whole commit message appear in "git-rebase-todo". I'm aware of "reword", but it's not exactly what I want. What do you think? PS: I'd use tags like "history" and "rebase", but I'm not allowed to. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
