Thank you. I didn't realise this was possible with rebase. Ideally I would like to push the comments-cleaned version to the server whilst retaining a comments-not-cleaned local reference. I suppose this would require separate branches, unless you could suggest a solution in combination with your rebase method?

@James: Yes, one option would be to keep your private comments on a private branch. Then you can transfer (using merge, or cherry-pick, or copy branch+rebase -i) only the changes you want to publish to another branch which you push. However, keeping this "private" branch up-to-date can become tedious (and you must constantly be careful not to push it accidentally), so I'd probably rather not do that. Rather, find a way to put your private changes into a form that can be pushed.
