[PATCH] git-rebase -i: improve usage message

From: Brian Ewins <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:47:38
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The usage message was confusing as it implied that interactive
mode was optional but the default. Change the message to more
appropriately report usage when the -i flag is supplied.
In addition, use the same division into 3 command formats as
the man page.
