[PATCHv2 0/2] Add a "fixup" command to "rebase --interactive"

Thanks, everybody, for all of the feedback.  This is the redone patch
series, which I think addresses all of your suggestions.

I would still like to implement "don't open the editor if there are
only fixups", but if it's OK I'll work on that in a separate patch
series when I have time.

My first reaction to the subject was "Huh? What repository?". So I
suggest something like

t3404: Better document the original repository layout

as a more descriptive subject.

Good idea.  Done.

Yes, that's much easier.  Changed.  This makes the old first and
second patches reduce to a single one.

This sed replacement worries me.  I don't have a time to check myself
today but do we use \(this\|or\|that\) alternates with our sed script
already elsewhere in the codebase (test scripts do not count)?

Otherwise this may suddenly be breaking a platform that has an
implementation of sed that may be substandard but so far has been
sufficient to work with git.

IIRC "|" was not correctly handled by BSD sed (used e.g. in MacOSX).

So maybe it would be best to just look for "commit message"?  I agree with
Michael that the regex should not be too loose.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I replaced the problematic part of the
regexp with "[snrt][tdh]", which isn't quite so selective but should
be portable.  (This is the same fix that Junio suggested.)

Nit picked.

IIRC, the end result of the bikeshedding for the name of the command was
won by Dscho's "fixup":

That's fine with me (the abbreviation is even the same :-) ).
Changed.
