[TxMt] Git interactive rebase

[Jacob Carlborg]

I've been thinking for a while that it would be nice to be able to do an 
interactive rebase from within TextMate.

I tried to come up with an idea of how the UI could work. One idea that 
comes to mind is to use the log. I imagine there would be some form of 
buttons (edit, squash, ...) for each commit and one "global" Start 
Rebase button. Ideally it should be possible to use keyboard shortcuts 
as well, arrow keys for selecting a commit and E, R and S for commands 
like edit, reword and squash.

The question now is, is it possible to use the HTML output view for 
something like this, or would a proper UI be required? That is create a 
UI in TextMate rather than in a bundle command.

The second question I have, does anyone know if it's possible to set 
which commits to edit, squash and so on, before starting an interactive 
rebase? Usually a text editor opens and the users selects the commands 
after starting the rebase. Perhaps using libgit2 if not through the 
regular command line interface.

What would also be a nice feature, or rather a shortcut of the above. 
Placing the cursor of a line you would like to edit, execute a command 
(via a keyboard shortcut) which basically does a "blame" and figures out 
the last commit that touched that line. Then it would start an 
interactive rebase and select "edit" for this particular commit.

Thoughts?
