14 # This file is created by "git rebase -i" then edited by the user. As
15 # the lines are processed, they are removed from the front of this
16 # file and written to the tail of $done.

28 # The file into which is accumulated the suggested commit message for
29 # squash/fixup commands. When the first of a series of squash/fixups
30 # is seen, the file is created and the commit message from the
31 # previous commit and from the first squash/fixup commit are written
32 # to it. The commit message for each subsequent squash/fixup commit
33 # is appended to the file as it is processed.
35 # The first line of the file is of the form
36 # # This is a combination of $count commits.
37 # where $count is the number of commits whose messages have been
38 # written to the file so far (including the initial "pick" commit).
