How to do an interactive git rebase in egg/emacs?

I enjoy using the egg git-front-end in emacs, but I can't figure out how to do an interactive rebase to squash several commits into one. I know how do do in from the command line, but I can't see what egg mark to use (+ . *) and which egg command (r R) to apply.

BTW. Is there a way to do git svn rebase and git svn dcommit from within egg as well?

I've been trying to figure this out for an hour... As far as I can tell the rebase functionality isn't working in egg. I'd try to contact the author about it. As for git svn support, it doesn't look like egg has this either. (Though magit does. As I understand egg is a fork of magit. It doesn't have interactive rebase, however, which would be very nice.)

Thank you for trying. I've tried to put the cursor over the staring sequence and typing C-u r, which gives the correct range in the buffer, but it does not seem to squash anything that I've marked.

That's about what I get. I mark stuff with . from the log buffer and use R to do the rebase... but it just fails with no error messages.

I haven't actually used it, but a quick look at the source code suggests you need to use it from within the log display buffer. (Not sure what that is though). There's quite a lot of code in there dealing with interactive rebase, so I'd be surprised if it doesn't work.

I've been doing this from the log buffer using the mark commands (+ . *0 and running the rebase commands (r R), but I can't get it to work.

This is working like charm now. I think the only thing which has changed is the underlaying git version. I've done an emerge git (I'm a Gentoo user) and are using git version 1.6.3.3
