An alphabetic ordered list (a.) is converted to numerical in
the man page (1.) so context comments naming 'a' were confusing,
fix that by not using ordered list notation for 'a' anb 'b' items.

Hi, "Interactive mode" section of git-rebase man page has an error,
where the source says:
        a. regular use

            1. finish something worthy of a commit

            2. commit
            
the converted man page says:

        1. regular use

            1. finish something worthy of a commit

            2. commit

so the comments in following paragraph talking about "b.2." and "plenty of a's and b's" don't have any meaning. I've fixed it by not using ordered list notation for the alphabetical list.

Here you can see images of the man page before and after the patch:
