Hi Konstantin,

I'm almost happy with `rebase-at`, except I don't know of any way to make it work
with `reword` git action. You see, "rewording a commit" requires to run EDITOR twice:
first to substitute `pick` with `reword`, and then to actually edit the commit
message. But since EDITOR was substituted with sed, the 2nd run won't give you an
actual editor to change the commit message.
I think GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR is for pretty much exactly such a use-case:

  This environment variable overrides the configured Git editor when
  editing the todo list of an interactive rebase. See also git-
  rebase(1) and the sequence.editor option in git-config(1).

Does that help, by not stomping on EDITOR/GIT_EDITOR?
