Which version of the book is affected?
Problem is present in source and online books.

Describe the bug:
There is a paragraph says that:

$ git rebase -i HEAD~3

Remember again that this is a rebasing command — every commit included in the range HEAD~3..HEAD will be rewritten, whether you change the message or not.

However, I found that the statement is incorrect.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Execute git rebase -i HEAD~3.
2. When seeing the rebase todo list, leave it unchanged and quit.

Expected behavior:
According to the above mentioned paragraph, the commits should be rewritten. However, they were not. That is, the SHA-1 between HEAD~3..HEAD were not changed.
