Thank you for this contribution!

Funnily enough, the same fix had been provided here: https://public-inbox.org/git/614F0C12-7173-48BD-9212-71AD6FBBDAA7@dana.is/ although only for `git-rebase--interactive.sh`.

In that thread, we agreed that it overlaps too much with a GSoC project, and that that project already addresses the same problem by way of rewriting that part in C (and therefore we decided it would be better to go with those patches).

However, your patch also covers this:

>  git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh | 4 ++--

I completely missed that in the earlier patch.

Junio, this gets an ACK from me, could you apply the `git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh` part selectively, please?

Ciao, Johannes
