rebase -i: remind that the lines are top-to-bottom
Nelson Benitez Leon opened a discussion with a patch with this in the note: Hi, I was using git rebase -i for some time now and never occured to me I could reorder the commit lines to affect the order the commits are applied, learnt that recently from a git tutorial. Nelson's patch was to stress the fact that the lines in the insn sheet can be re-ordered in a much more verbose way. Let's add a one-liner reminder and also remind that the lines in the insn sheet is read from top to bottom, unlike the "git log" output.
