Interactive rebasing doesn't show 'blue' commit

[tetsugakusha256]

Describe the bug
Whenever I press 'e' on a commit all the above commit disappear making it impossible to rebase.
I tried with the default config, on a repo started with 'git init'.
log says "Jun 26 21:44:24 |ERRO| fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the commit section
2. Click on 'e' to start rebasing
3. All the above commit disappear so I can't pick, squash etc

Expected behavior
The commits above the rebasing point should turn blue and let me interact with them.

Screenshots

The two fatal errors in the log are red herrings, those are normal. (It would be nice if we could find a way to avoid logging these, it's misleading and confusing.)

It looks like lazygit has problems parsing the git-rebase-todo file. Could you post the contents of your .git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo file after pressing e?

[stefanhaller]

Never mind, I found the error. It's caused by the pretty old git version you are using. I'll try to come up with a fix, but it might take me a few days; in the meantime, if it's an option for you to update git to the latest version, that will fix the problem.

[tetsugakusha256]

I confirm updating git fixed the problem, thanks !
My git version was the latest using apt for ubuntu 20.04 so maybe other people might encounter that problem too.

[stefanhaller]

Thanks for confirming.

Meanwhile I bisected and found that the very next version from yours (2.25.2, you were on 2.25.1) fixes the problem...

It will be easy enough for lazygit to work around the problem. I'll work on this soon.
