[PATCH v2 1/1] t/lib-rebase: improve documentation of set_fake_editor()

From: Oswald Buddenhagen <hidden>
Date: 2023-08-09 17:15:44
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Firstly, make it reflect better what actually happens. Not omitting some
possibilities makes it easier to fully exploit them, and not
contradicting the implementation makes it easier to grok and thus modify
the code.

Secondly, improve the overall structure, putting more general info
further up.

Thirdly, document `merge`, `fakesha`, and `break`, which were previously
omitted entirely.

v2:
- everything phillip asked for, i think. of course, it's still bullet
  points, just without the punctuation - i wouldn't know what else to
  do about it which would be an actual improvement.
