[BUG] git mangles up commit messages on rebase

Hey.

When I do a simple interactive rebase, e.g. something like this: edit 78f3ba8 editing or just rewriting this commit pick b621076 foo pick e06c28e this one had a "verbatim" commit message pick c0a447f bar

and one of the commit messages from the children I edit/rewrite had a commit message that was edited with --cleanup=verbatim (e.g. double newlines, etc.).

Then these get lost once I --continue and it appears that the messages are recreated but with the default of --cleanup=default .

IMO that's quite annoying, cause when one intentionally chose e.g. -cleanup=verbatim and made commit messages with that, then this is probably what one wanted and it should be dumped just because of changing another commit.

Could that possibly be solved? :)

Cheers, Chris.
