Re: [PATCH 9/8] [DO NOT APPLY, but squash?] git-rebase--interactive: clarify arguments

Hi Stefan,

Up to now each command took a commit as its first argument and ignored
the rest of the line (usually the subject of the commit)

Now that we have commands that take different arguments, clarify each
command by giving the argument list.

Good idea! I would rather do it as an introductory patch (that only
converts the existing list).

As to `merge`: it is a bit more complicated ;-)

	m, merge <original-merge-commit> ( <label> | "<label>..." ) [<oneline>]
		create a merge commit using the original merge commit's
		message (or the oneline, if "-" is given). Use a quoted
		list of commits to be merged for octopus merges.

Thanks,
Dscho
