39 * Separate "rebase -p" codepath out of "rebase -i" implementation to
40 slim down the latter and make it easier to manage.

46 + * Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various

88 + that is unchanged in the patch would become completely empty
89 + (instead of a line with a sole SP on it). The code introduced in
