The previous patch was [Patch 05/16] git-rebase--interactive: clarify 
arguments, so this statement doesn't appear to be true. Has a patch been 
missed or re-ordered? Or should it be simply "This patch implements" ? 
Likewise the patch subject would be updated.

The example ought to also note that `label onto` is to
`# label current HEAD with a name`, seeing as this is the first occurance.
It may be obvious in retrospect, but not at first reading.

Is this reset strictly necessary. We are already there @head.
