Jokes on merge.. when a rebase editing goes wrong after +15 commits and six hours, and git hits you with a leadpipe: "do it. Do it again, or reassemble your branch from the reflog." I.e. you commited a change very early, went over bunch of commits resolving/fixing/improving them and at middle way forget if you should commit --amend or rebase --continue to move forward. Choose wrong, and two large change-sets get irreversilbly squashed together (that absolutely shouldn't), with no way to undo. Cheers. ๐Ÿ‘
