[PATCH 2/2] Re: rebase -i: explain how to discard all commits

Preparing a patch series for submission (as explained under
INTERACTIVE MODE in the git rebase manual) sometimes involves
discarding commits representing changes that turned out to be a bad
idea.  Usually this is quite simple to do by deleting the appropriate
"pick" lines, but if all commits are removed then the "remove
everything means abort" logic kicks in and the rebase is cancelled.
One can override that behavior by adding a line with the text "noop".

This is a follow-up to v1.6.0.3~21 (rebase -i: do not fail when there
is no commit to cherry-pick, 2008-10-10).
