[PATCH v3 0/2] Make git rebase work with --rebase-merges and --exec

It was reported via IRC that the exec lines are inserted in the wrong spots when using --rebase-merges.

The reason is that we used a simple, incorrect implementation that happened to work as long as the generated todo list only contains pick, fixup and squash commands. Which is not the case with--rebase-merges.

Fix this issue by using a correct implementation instead, that even takes into account merge commands in the --rebase-merges mode.

Changes since v1:

 * Replaced the "look-ahead" design by a "keep looking" one: instead of
   having a nested loop that looks for the end of the fixup/squash chain, we
   continue the loop, delaying the insertion until we know where the
   fixup/squash chain ends, if any.
