I've written a small script that does this, so I'll add that as a possible ans...
I've done this before by creating a clone and doing the rebase in the clone, but I suspect I could do it safely on a separate branch. I have a feature branch feat-x with about 25 commits on it. I'd like to (safely) squash several of these together. (I say "safely" because the first couple of times I squashed I didn't get it right -- bu...
