(BTW, I reply to this thread because I'm also often confused with the
rebase. The thing that hits me most is that with resolving conflicts,
you have to do a 'git commit' and with 'edit', you have to do a 'git
commit --amend'. This can get confusing if you set up an interactive
rebase where you have some new picks or squashes, and also an edit.
If the rebase stops, you first have to carefully read whether you're
supposed to do a 'git commit' or a 'git commit --amend', and remember
that until you're finished with the changes).
