Reordering and combining commits by dragging them in the graph

Dropping a commit onto another folds the two together — the same combine a squash/fixup in the interactive rebase editor produces — and dropping it between two others just moves it there. Either way nothing is rewritten until a confirmation dialog previews the result: what moves, where it lands, and, for a combine, whether the folded commit keeps its own message.

Dragging a commit onto its parent combines them

Dragging the newest commit onto the one right before it previews a fold: the dialog lists the resulting history with the combined commit marked, and a mode picker decides whether the dragged commit's own message survives alongside the target's, or is folded in silently.

Captured from the running app by this scenario.

Do this

1. Drag the commit chore: bump counter to 4 onto the commit chore: bump counter to 3
2. Confirm the commit reorder

You should see

• The commit reorder dialog is shown
• The commit reorder preview marks chore: bump counter to 4 as moved
• The repository HEAD commit subject contains chore: bump counter to 3
• The repository log holds 4 commits
• The working file counter.txt holds the line counter=4
