Alright, how about something like this instead?

(I hope this is the correct way of including a patch. I have only used 'git send-email before'. I noticed that Jeff seems to remove the first three lines and put a '-- 8> --' before, but others do not. What does the mysterious header mean?)

Subject: [PATCH] rebase: support --verify

Interactive rebase allows the '--verify' option to be passed, but it will be ignored. Implement proper support for the option for both interactive and non-interactive rebase by making it override any previous '--no-verify'.
