Re: [RFC/PATCH] rebase -i: add run command to launch a shell command

The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.

The shell command is ran, and the rebase is stopped when the command
fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix the problem before
continuing with "git rebase --continue".

I think this is a useful addition, but I would find it more useful if
I could run a command (make test) on top of all commits of a patch
series, like:

$ git run HEAD^4.. command arguments

(I'm not quite sure about the syntax). Something like "git bisect run"
but for all the commits in the range.

 I know you said "given points in history", maybe each approach is
useful for each use case.

Thanks,
