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. This is effectively the same thing as "x false" but
much friendlier to the user.

I'm sorry if I'm missing something, but how is this different from "edit"?

Edit cherry-picks a commit, then exits to the shell. I needed to exit to the
shell without cherry-picking a commit. As stated in the comments above the
diffstat on the patch, the original use case here was something along the
lines of

  edit 12345 some commit
  fixup 23456 another commit
  shell I want to amend the commit after the fixup
