Feature request: Combine to one commit

[Andrew Donkin]

We use Tortoise in concert with (the brilliant) Extensions because
some of our developers appreciate the icon overlays in Explorer, but
they go back to Extensions for git functions. One exception is
interactive rebasing: in Tortoise Git you shift-select a range of
commits and "Combine to one commit" from the right-click menu. It
could not be easier.

There is nothing similar in Extensions.

"Maniplate Commit -> Squash (or fixup) commit" just takes me to the
regular commit dialogue with no files to commit.

You're probably already aware of this, but if someone is looking for
an area where Git Extensions can catch up to Tortoise Git, here you
go.

I second that. The squash commit command in Git Extensions is confusing and
doesn't make sense. I haven't been able to figure it out. I just use
interactive rebasing from the command line to squash and rearrange commits.

Wow -- it's been over a year, and still no resolution? :(

I believe it supports squash, but it's really just a thin wrapper over the normal 'git rebase -i' process.  Look at the rebase GUI, show options, set Interactive flag, and then follow the normal GIT docs for specifying the commits you want to edit or squash.

see http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History for discussion.
