Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last
rebase. False by default.
+rebase.autosquash::
+ If set to true enable '--autosquash' option by default.

OPTIONS
-------
<newbase>::
<upstream>. May be any valid commit, and not just an
existing branch name.
+
-As a special case, you may use "A...B" as a shortcut for the
+As a special case, you may use "A\...B" as a shortcut for the
merge base of A and B if there is exactly one merge base. You can
leave out at most one of A and B, in which case it defaults to HEAD.
--no-verify::
This option bypasses the pre-rebase hook. See also linkgit:githooks[5].
+--verify::
+ Allows the pre-rebase hook to run, which is the default. This option can
+ be used to override --no-verify. See also linkgit:githooks[5].
+
-C<n>::
Ensure at least <n> lines of surrounding context match before
and after each change. When fewer lines of surrounding
instead.
--autosquash::
+--no-autosquash::
When the commit log message begins with "squash! ..." (or
"fixup! ..."), and there is a commit whose title begins with
the same ..., automatically modify the todo list of rebase -i
commit from `pick` to `squash` (or `fixup`).
+
This option is only valid when the '--interactive' option is used.
++
+If the '--autosquash' option is enabled by default using the
+configuration variable `rebase.autosquash`, this option can be
+used to override and disable this setting.
--no-ff::
With --interactive, cherry-pick all rebased commits instead of
$ git rebase -i -p --onto Q O
-----------------------------
+Reordering and editing commits usually creates untested intermediate
+steps. You may want to check that your history editing did not break
+anything by running a test, or at least recompiling at intermediate
+points in history by using the "exec" command (shortcut "x"). You may
+do so by creating a todo list like this one:
+
+-------------------------------------------
+pick deadbee Implement feature XXX
+fixup f1a5c00 Fix to feature XXX
+exec make
+pick c0ffeee The oneline of the next commit
+edit deadbab The oneline of the commit after
+exec cd subdir; make test
+...
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The interactive rebase will stop when a command fails (i.e. exits with
+non-0 status) to give you an opportunity to fix the problem. You can
+continue with `git rebase --continue`.
+
+The "exec" command launches the command in a shell (the one specified
+in `$SHELL`, or the default shell if `$SHELL` is not set), so you can
+use shell features (like "cd", ">", ";" ...). The command is run from
+the root of the working tree.
SPLITTING COMMITS

'everyone' downstream from 'topic' will now have to perform a "hard
case" recovery too!
