I am fine if the description were "replay history and repoint the branch tip to the result"; the fact that branch tip moves is an important part of the semantics of the command. Otherwise, you cannot cleanly capture why we have rebase and cherry-pick (which can do ranges these days). -- 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
