Soft is still useful, partway. Consider patch splitting (where easily possible): $ git add foo.c bar.c $ git commit -m foo,bar [other commits] $ git rebase -i FOOBARCOMMIT^ [mark foo,bar for edit] $ git reset --soft HEAD^ $ git reset bar.c $ git commit -m foo $ git add bar.c $ git commit -m bar $ git rebase --continue -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
