When it works, it's magic. ;) On the rare occasion where I've had to do it manually, I don't use reset. I checkout-patched then rebase -i upstream and drop the commit. I don't know if that's effectively the same thing as what you've done, and ISTR that it doesn't always work, but I know that it sometimes does <wink>. -Barry
