Hello all, When rebasing commits involving move of a submodule, git-rebase fails to record in index the "add" part of the rename. This leaves the workdir dirty and the rebase gets stopped. fast-export of a testcase is attached. To reproduce, just "git rebase -i", add a "break" before the move commit, use this to introduce some noise, and watch. Best regards, -- Yann (master)$ git rebase -i HEAD^^ hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... Waiting for Emacs...
