git obeys $EDITOR, so you can get that like this with whatever text editor you want:

  EDITOR=gedit git rebase -i foo

No, I mean why can't you select commits in the graph and copy/paste them. I wasn't talking about copy/pasting the lines of text in the `git rebase -i` file.

Because the graph is a query and not a model with methods on it. If you realy want to, you can code it (and deal with conflicts)
