[PATCH v2 0/2] rebase: understand -C again, refactor

Phillip Wood reported a problem where the built-in rebase did not understand
options like -C1, i.e. it did not expect the option argument.

While investigating how to address this best, I stumbled upon 
OPT_PASSTHRU_ARGV (which I was so far happily unaware of).

Instead of just fixing the -C<n> bug, I decided to simply convert all of the
options intended for git am (or, eventually, for git apply). This happens to
fix that bug, and does so much more: it simplifies the entire logic (and
removes more lines than it adds).

Change since v1:

 * Introduce early parameter validation for the options passed through to 
   git am.

Johannes Schindelin (2):
  rebase: really just passthru the `git am` options
  rebase: validate -C<n> and --whitespace=<mode> parameters early
