This is by no means your fault, but it is really horrible by how many
different names Git's documentation refers to the todo script, nothing
short of confusing. It is the todo script (which I called it initially,
maybe not a good name, but it has the merit of the longest tradition at
least), the todo list, the instruction sheet, the rebase script, the
instruction list... etc

However, the thing is called "todo list" elsewhere in the same file,
therefore lets try to avoid even more confusion and use that term instead
of "instruction list" here.
thanks for pointing this out, I was not quite sure what to call this list.
I think the words "instruction list" may have come from my suggestion. I
used them because that is the term used in the rebase.instructionFormat
documentation directly above the option you are adding.

It may be worth a follow-on patch to convert that one to "todo list" if
that's the preferred name.
