Moreover 'noop' is not documented (especially it is not > shown in the short help that is display in the editor during the > rebase -i) As Matthieu said elsewhere during the discussion, 'noop' is merely to ignore everything that follows (so 'noop stupid git' does not mean "ignore commit identified by 'stupid git'") and the only reason why it exists is as a hack to have a way to make a non-empty todo list, because an empty todo list means "do not do anything, not even rewinding to the onto commit". As such, I actually think it is a mistake to consider 'noop' as "drop _this_ commit"; the remainder of the line that begins with 'noop' does not name any commit. -- 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
