Okay, but in this patch we are also removing period and capitalization from
rebase to-do help of commands. So, maybe we can replace it like :

f, fixup [-C | -c] <commit> = like \"squash\", but discard this\n"
 "                  commit's log message; use -C to use only the\n"
 "                  log message of the "fixup" commit, discarding the\n"
 "                  message from the previous commit; while -C uses \n"
 "                  the message as-is, -c allows to further edit it\n"

If it is okay ?

Thanks and Regards,
