Good that you mention it: The one-liner is really convenient. I tend to replace it by reminders like "====== fix unused var", "===== edit msg", etc. (after marking the commit "edit") and I'm glad that rebase-i later prints the one-liner from the insn file rather than the original subject line before it stops.

(I do it this way because on Windows I can't afford to call rebase-i on a long patch series for every single task. Rather, I plan the tasks while the insn editor is open, and this way I keep reminders about what the plan was.)

No, I definitely don't want the one-liners to end up in the commit message. ;-)
