Commit Rewording
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a conflict occurs while rebasing, rebase stops and asks the user
to resolve. Since the user may need to make notable changes while
resolving conflicts, after conflicts are resolved and the user has run
`git rebase --continue`, the rebase should open an editor and ask the
user to update the commit message. The merge backend does this, while
the apply backend blindly applies the original commit message.
