This implements a new ack! action for git rebase -i It is essentially a middle ground between fixup! and squash!: - commits are squashed silently without editor being started - commit logs are concatenated (with action line being discarded) - because of the above, empty commits aren't discarded, their log is also included.
I am using it as follows: git am -s < mailbox #creates first commit hack ... get mail with Ack git commit --allow-empty -m `cat <<-EOF ack! first Acked-by: maintainer EOF` repeat cycle git rebase --autosquash -i origin/master before public branch push The "cat" command above is actually a script that parses the Ack mail to create the empty commit - to be submitted separately.
