git rebase and gitk

[Graham Percival]

Hi Mike,

Could I introduce you to the wonders of git-rebase ?  In
particular:
  git rebase -i master^^^^^^
(however many ^ you need to cover all your recent work)
This lets you clean up your git history before pushing to master,
thereby giving us a much less cluttered history.


I also recommend running:
  gitk
just before doing a push -- I've sometimes avoided an embarrassing
push by doing a final check like this.  (I don't do it all the
time, and sometimes end up regretting skipping this step!)

Cheers,
- Graham
