Hi,

we rebased a branch using "--preserve-merges --interactive" and were 
surprised that the operation reported success although it silently 
omitted commits (Git 2.12 on Windows). A little search revealed that 
these are likely known bugs [1]. Would it make sense to print an 
appropriate warning message if a user runs rebase with 
"--preserve-merges --interactive"?

Thanks,
Lars

Sounds like a good idea.  Care to suggest a patch?

Thanks,
