Add a new command "shell", which takes an option commit. It simply exits
to the shell with the commit (if given) and a message telling the user how
to resume the rebase.

"shell" sounds like you're going to execute something in a shell, not
that you're going back to the shell. Looking at the commit message, I
thought you had missed the "exec" command and re-implemented it.

What about "pause", abbreviated as "p" for the command name?

That sounds like a reasonable suggestion, except "p" is already taken by "pick".
I suppose this command could simply omit the short version.

Subject: git-rebase--interactive.sh: Add new command "pause"

Add a new command "pause", which takes an optional comment. It simply exits
to the shell with the comment (if given) and a message telling the user how
to resume the rebase. This is effectively the same thing as "x false" but
much friendlier to the user.
