Hi, I’ve got myself stuck on an issue, I’ve started a big rebase (I know that was already a bad idea to begin with, but, just in case, the information I’m looking for could always come in handy in other occasions), I reordered a few commits and squashed some, while in the process I resolved a few conflicts, then after I resolved one of them and got to the next conflict I realised that I shouldn’t have put a certain commit there, is there a way to rewind the process to the previous step while staying in the rebase? That way I could move the commit to where it should be and continue.
I know you can edit the todo (git --edit-todo), but that only works for the next commits, I also can’t just reset back by the number of commits I want, e.g. git reset --hard HEAD~4, because for the rebase those commits remain as done and doing git rebase --continue only brings me to where I am already, the next conflict to resolve.
So I wonder, is there a way to move out commits of the done list back into todo? Also for example if I trashed an unmerged file completely while messing around, so I can get it back to its initial state, this would be extremely useful

    Hmm, that sounds like it could be what I’m looking for, had never consider you could branch while in the middle of a rebase, nice!
