[PATCH 2/2] Catch and handle git-commit failures in git-rebase --interactive

From: Shawn O. Pearce <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:00

If git-commit fails for any reason then git-rebase needs to stop
and not plow through the rest of the series.  Its unlikely that
a future git-commit will succeed if the current attempt failed.

 Comments welcome.  This is on top of my 1/2 patch but we could
 drop my 1/2 and rewrite this to not use --no-verify, but handle
 the git-commit error correctly.

 However that would force users to fix whitespace errors in later
 patches in a series if they use -i, even though non-i wouldn't
 require that sort of fix-up.  So I think we should do both patches
 in the series.

 This has also bitten me a few times. :-\
