These variables let you specify an editor that will be launched in
preference to the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables. The order
of preference is GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, EDITOR, VISUAL.

Without this change the commits will be left standalone, with
duplicated commit message.

It seems that not everybody expects a difference between keeping a "pick"
line, and deleting it. So be a bit more explicit about that, with all
capitals to get the attention.

After interruption, be that an edit, or a conflicting commit, reset
the variables VERBOSE, STRATEGY and PRESERVE_MERGES, so that the
user does not have to respecify them with "rebase --continue".

The "while" loop in the function do_rest is not supposed to ever be
exited. Instead, the function do_one checks if there is nothing left,
and cleans up and exits if that is the case. So the diffstat code
belongs there.

Non-interactive rebase requires the working tree to be clean, but
applies what is in the index without requiring the user to do it
herself. Imitate that, but (since we are interactive, after all)
fire up an editor with the commit message.
It also fixes a subtle bug: a forgotten "continue" was removed, which
led to an infinite loop when continuing without remaining patches.
Both issues noticed by Frank Lichtenheld.

The option "-p" (or long "--preserve-merges") makes it possible to
rebase side branches including merges, without straightening the
history.
Example:
X
\
A---M---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
When the current HEAD is "B", "git rebase -i -p --onto Q O" will yield
X
\
---o---O---P---Q---A'---M'---B'
Note that this will
- _not_ touch X [*1*], it does
- _not_ work without the --interactive flag [*2*], it does
- _not_ guess the type of the merge, but blindly uses recursive or
whatever strategy you provided with "-s <strategy>" for all merges it
has to redo, and it does
- _not_ make use of the original merge commit via git-rerere.
*1*: only commits which reach a merge base between <upstream> and HEAD
are reapplied. The others are kept as-are.
*2*: git-rebase without --interactive is inherently patch based (at
least at the moment), and therefore merges cannot be preserved.

If your rebase succeeded, the HEAD's reflog will still show the whole
mess, but "<branchname>@{1}" now shows the state _before_ the rebase,
so that you can reset (or compare) the original and the rebased
revisions more easily.

Support "--verbose" in addition to "-v", show short names in the list
comment, clean up if there is nothing to do, and add several "test_ticks"
in the test script.

Don't you just hate the fact sometimes, that git-rebase just applies
the patches, without any possibility to edit them, or rearrange them?
With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches,
so that you can reorder, edit and delete patches.
Such a list will typically look like this:
pick deadbee The oneline of this commit
pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
...
By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can amend
that patch and/or its commit message, and by replacing it with "squash"
you can tell rebase to fold that patch into the patch before that.
It is derived from the script sent to the list in
