The 'edit' command can be used to cherry-pick a commit and then
immediately drop out of the interactive rebase, with exit code 0, to let
the user amend the commit, or test it, or look around.

If one wants to emulate this with the versions of Git that are
currently deployed, would it be sufficient to insert "exec false"
instead of "break"?

There is one crucial difference: the exit code.

OK, and it was good that you explicitly said "with exit code 0" in
the log message.  Together with the idea to update the doc I floated
earlier, this probably is worth documenting, too.

I think the earlier request asked for 'pause' (I didn't dig the list
archive very carefully, though),

No need to: I mentioned it in the cover letter. Here is the link again,
for your convenience:

No, you misunderstood.  I knew what message in the immediate past
triggered this patch and that wasn't what I "could have dug for but
didn't".  "The earlier request" I meant was another one I recall
that was made long time ago---that was what I "could have dug for
but didn't".

Good initial version. I would like it to be a bit more precise about who
exits with what status. How about this:

Sounds good.  It is likely that I'll either forget or will continue
to be too busy to pick textual pieces and assemble together myself,
so I'll leave it as a left over bit for somebody reading from the
sideline to send in a finished version if they care deeply enough
;-)

Thanks.
