Could somebody tell me how to make git rebase -i show diff of squashed commits (for example), like git commit -v does it?

Can we mark a commit as authoritative in interactive rebase in Git?

I have many commits: A, B, C, ..., Z. I plan to do some housekeeping using rebase. One thing I want to do is to reorder Z to be the first commit. However, other commits will be in conflict with Z's changes. I know I can go through and interactively resolve the conflicts manually. But this is tedious and error prone. I would like to be able to mark Z's changes as authoritative while rebasing. That is, I want to tell git, "whenever a commit conflicts with Z (during this rebase operation) I want you to keep Z's changes and ignore the other." Is this possible? Is there another (hopefully better) way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
