git version 2.43.0 $ git rebase --edit-todo error: could not parse 'Drop' error: invalid line 1: r Drop option --figure-soname-bumps error: could not parse 'Drop' error: invalid line 1: p Drop option --figure-soname-bumps You can fix this with 'git rebase --edit-todo' and then run 'git rebase --continue'. Or you can abort the rebase with 'git rebase --abort'. "Drop option --figure-soname-bumps" is the commit message. Git doesn't seem to accept any command for the commit. First I tried command d. Workaround: I did `git rebase --abort`. Started new rebase, used r command for the commit to rename it to not have "Drop" as first word. After that I can rebase again and use d command for the commit. -- Jarno Suni
