In a rebase session where more than one commit is to be 'edit'ed, and the
user spends considerable time to 'edit' a commit, it is easy to forget what
one wanted to 'edit' at the individual commits. It would be helpful to see
at which commit the rebase stopped.
Incidentally, if the rebase stopped due to merge conflicts or other errors,
the commit was already reported ("Could not apply $sha1..."), but when
rebase stopped after successfully applying an "edit" commit, it would not
mention it. With this change the commit is reported.

When "rebase -i -p" tries to preserve merges of unrelated branches, it
lost some parents:
- When you have more than two parents, the commit in the new history
ends up with fewer than expected number of parents and this breakage
goes unnoticed;
- When you are rebasing a merge with two parents and one is lost, the
command tries to cherry-pick the original merge commit, and the command
fails.

Since the files generated and used during a rebase are never to be
tracked, they should live in $GIT_DIR. While at it, avoid the rather
meaningless term "dotest" to "rebase", and unhide ".dotest-merge".
This was wished for on the mailing list, but so far unimplemented.

"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD,
which makes it easy to go back to where you were before you inflict a
major damage to your history and realize that you do not like the result
at all. These days with reflog, we technically do not need to use
ORIG_HEAD, but it is a handy way nevertheless.
This teaches "am" and "rebase" (all forms --- the vanilla one that uses
"am" as its backend, "-m" variant that cherry-picks, and "--interactive")
to do the same.
The original idea and a partial implementation to do this only for "rebase
-m" was by Brian Gernhardt; this extends on his idea.

git rebase -i already supports 'p', 'e' and 's' as aliases for 'pick',

forms as well.

If the upstream argument to rebase (the first argument) was relative to
HEAD and the name of the branch to rebase (the second argument) was given,
the upstream would have been interpreted relative to the second argument.
In particular, this command
git rebase -i HEAD topic
would always finish with "Nothing to do". (a1bf91e fixed the same issue
for non-interactive rebase.)

When rebasing or stashing, chances are that you do not care about
dirty submodules, since they are not updated by those actions anyway.
So ignore the submodules' states.
Note: the submodule states -- as committed in the superproject --
will still be stashed and rebased, it is _just_ the state of the
submodule in the working tree which is ignored.

System V versions of grep (such as Solaris /usr/bin/grep)
don't understand either of these options. git's usage of
"grep -e pattern" fell into one of two categories:
1. equivalent to "grep pattern". -e is only useful here if
the pattern begins with a "-", but all of the patterns
are hardcoded and do not begin with a dash.
2. stripping comments and blank lines with
grep -v -e "^$" -e "^#"
We can fortunately do this in the affirmative as
grep '^[^#]'
Uses of "-q" can be replaced with redirection to /dev/null.
In many tests, however, "grep -q" is used as "if this string
is in the expected output, we are OK". In this case, it is
fine to just remove the "-q" entirely; it simply makes the
"verbose" mode of the test slightly more verbose.

After replaying a single change, the code performed a number of checks,

The commit message template when squashing multiple commits is
prepared by concatenating the messages of existing commits

During git-rebase --interactive's --continue implementation we used

If we are rebasing changes that contain potential whitespace

on then git-commit will fail to commit that change. This causes
git-rebase--interactive to squash commits together, even though it

git-rebase--interactive.sh used to pass all parents of a merge commit to
git-merge, which means that we have at least 3 heads to merge: HEAD,
first parent and second parent. So 3-way merge strategies like recursive
wouldn't work.
Fortunately, we have checked out the first parent right before the merge
anyway, so that is HEAD. Therefore we can drop simply it from the list
of parents, making 3-way strategies work for merge commits with only
two parents.

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with
while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac
and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.
