+NAME
+----
+git-history - EXPERIMENTAL: Rewrite history of the current branch
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[synopsis]
+git history reword <commit>
+git history split <commit> [--] [<pathspec>...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Rewrite history by rearranging or modifying specific commits in the
+history.
+
+THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.
+
+This command is similar to linkgit:git-rebase[1] and uses the same
+underlying machinery. You should use rebases if you want to reapply a range of
+commits onto a different base, or interactive rebases if you want to edit a
+range of commits.
+
+Note that this command does not (yet) work with histories that contain
+merges. You should use linkgit:git-rebase[1] with the `--rebase-merges`
+flag instead.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+Several commands are available to rewrite history in different ways:
+
+`reword <commit>`::
+	Rewrite the commit message of the specified commit. All the other
+	details of this commit remain unchanged. This command will spawn an
+	editor with the current message of that commit.
+
+`split <commit> [--] [<pathspec>...]`::
+	Interactively split up <commit> into two commits by choosing
+	hunks introduced by it that will be moved into the new split-out
+	commit. These hunks will then be written into a new commit that
+	becomes the parent of the previous commit. The original commit
+	stays intact, except that its parent will be the newly split-out
+	commit.
++
+The commit message of the new commit will be asked for by launching the
+configured editor. Authorship of the commit will be the same as for the
+original commit.
++
+If passed, _<pathspec>_ can be used to limit which changes shall be split out
+of the original commit. Files not matching any of the pathspecs will remain
+part of the original commit. For more details, see the 'pathspec' entry in
+linkgit:gitglossary[7].
++
+It is invalid to select either all or no hunks, as that would lead to
+one of the commits becoming empty.
