The Rebase That Ate Three Commits
Description
You ran an interactive rebase to clean up your feature branch before merging. After the rebase and force-push, three commits are missing — including the critical Stripe payment integration. git log confirms they're gone from the branch history.
The reflog tells the full story. Compare what existed before the rebase with what was picked.
What are the exact commit messages of the 3 dropped commits, listed alphabetically and separated by semicolons?
git reflog: the black box recorder of your worst decisions.
