Ok, so then I assume it's a bare repo (i.e. just a libssh2.git/
directory). So presumably you have your own cloned repo which you work
in (just as the rest of us), where you commit, and then push? In that
case, there's a nice trick - if you after a commit find that a comment
should be fixed or there's some other problem, then just git add the
changed file(s) and use git commit --amend, which will update the last
commit instead of making a new one. For example, commit ids 5a162..,
42e9f0.., 160e5a.. looks like they could be a single one.
That won't do if you have pushed in the meantime of course, or if
someone else has cloned your working repo. But it's quite useful
otherwise. For my own stuff I clone repos between machines (typically
different architectures) and fiddle with the changes that way before I
finally pull changes back to my other cloned copies.
