Teach rebase -i about --preserve-merges
The option "-p" (or long "--preserve-merges") makes it possible to rebase side branches including merges, without straightening the history. Example: X \ A---M---B / ---o---O---P---Q When the current HEAD is "B", "git rebase -i -p --onto Q O" will yield X \ ---o---O---P---Q---A'---M'---B' Note that this will - _not_ touch X [*1*], it does - _not_ work without the --interactive flag [*2*], it does - _not_ guess the type of the merge, but blindly uses recursive or whatever strategy you provided with "-s <strategy>" for all merges it has to redo, and it does - _not_ make use of the original merge commit via git-rerere. *1*: only commits which reach a merge base between <upstream> and HEAD are reapplied. The others are kept as-are. *2*: git-rebase without --interactive is inherently patch based (at least at the moment), and therefore merges cannot be preserved.
