EGit interactive rebase [message #1245433]

Hi all,

Im using Eclipse Luna M5 and i have a question about Egit interactive,
Id like to rewrite all my commit message in my branch with the interactive rebase tool, i follow the step shown here : m-sohn.blogspot.com/2013/11/interactive-rebase-with-egit-32.html and choose reword for all my commit. I thought it would only open a Commit message dialog where i can update my commit message.

But instead where's some merge error for all my commit...

Any thought where it could come from ?

Kind regards,

Ernest

- what's the error message ?
- any errors logged in the error log ?
- are you trying to rebase a merge commit ?
- which EGit version are you using ?

Hey,

Im using the last EGit version shipped with luna M5, but i think i was being dumb, i was trying to do an interactive rebase on a non linear branch and i naively thought i wouldnt have to fix merge conflicts and just changed the commit message . Since i only wanted to reword my commit.

C Git would do the same, unless you use the -p switch (preserve merges), which EGit does yet support.

if you want to rewrite all commits in your repository you probably better use git filter-branch
