This is a huge patch, and at the same time a huge step forward to execute the performance-critical parts of the interactive rebase in a builtin command. Since 'fixup' and 'squash' are not only similar, but also need to know about each other (we want to reduce a series of fixups/squashes into a single, final commit message edit, from the user's point of view), we really have to implement them both at the same time. Most of the actual work is done by the existing code path that already handles the "pick" and the "edit" commands; We added support for other features (e.g. to amend the commit message) in the patches leading up to this one, yet there are still quite a few bits in this patch that simply would not make sense as individual patches (such as: determining whether there was anything to "fix up" in the "todo" script, etc). In theory, it would be possible to reuse the fast-forward code path also for the fixup and the squash code paths, but in practice this would make the code less readable. The end result cannot be fast-forwarded anyway, therefore let's just extend the cherry-picking code path for now. Since the sequencer parses the entire `git-rebase-todo` script in one go, fixup or squash commands without a preceding pick can be reported early (in git-rebase--interactive, we could only report such errors just before executing the fixup/squash).

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
