176
+ - rebase-i-p: if todo was reordered use HEAD as the rewritten parent
177
+ - rebase-i-p: do not include non-first-parent commits touching
178
+ UPSTREAM
179
+ - rebase-i-p: only list commits that require rewriting in todo
180
+ - rebase-i-p: fix 'no squashing merges' tripping up non-merges
181
+ - rebase-i-p: delay saving current-commit to REWRITTEN if squashing
182

183
+ OLDHEAD
184
+ - rebase-i-p: test to exclude commits from todo based on its parents
185
+ + rebase--interactive: fix parent rewriting for dropped commits
186
