[PATCH 0/1] Teach the builtin rebase about the builtin interactive rebase

The builtin rebase and the builtin interactive rebase have been developed independently, on purpose: Google Summer of Code rules specifically state that students have to work on independent projects, they cannot collaborate on the same project.

The reason is probably the very fine tradition in academia to prohibit teamwork, which makes grading easier (at the expense of not exactly preparing the students for the real world, unless they want to stay in academia).

One fallout is that the rebase-in-c and rebase-i-in-c patches cause no merge conflicts but a royal number of tests in the test suite to fail.

It is easy to explain why: rebase-in-c was developed under the assumption that all rebase backends are implemented in Unix shell script and can be sourced via . git-rebase--<backend>, which is no longer true with rebase-i-in-c, where git-rebase--interactive is a hard-linked builtin.

This patch fixes that.

Note: while this patch targets pk/rebase-in-c-6-final, it will not work
correctly without ag/rebase-i-in-c. So my suggestion is to rewrite the 
pk/rebas-in-c-6-final branch by first merging ag/rebase-i-in-c, then
applying this here patch, and only then cherry-pick "rebase: default to
using the builtin rebase".
