If the upstream branch already contains a change you have made (e.g.,
because you mailed a patch which was applied upstream), then that commit
will be skipped. For example, running `git rebase master` on the

but have different committer information):

--quiet::
Make a list of the commits which are about to be rebased. Let the
user edit that list before rebasing. This mode can also be used to
split commits (see SPLITTING COMMITS below).

+The commit list format can be changed by setting the configuration option

--preserve-merges::
- Instead of ignoring merges, try to recreate them.

This uses the `--interactive` machinery internally, but combining it
with the `--interactive` option explicitly is generally not a good

If you just want to edit the commit message for a commit, replace the
command "pick" with the command "reword".

If you want to fold two or more commits into one, replace the command
