I started playing with the patch, and I'm already starting to love
it ;-). For example

pick <commit1>
fixup <commit4>
run make
pick <commit2>
pick <commit3>
...

Just does "the right thing": it checks that the fixup doesn't break
the commit (which is really not only a new state, but also a new
patch, so it can really break), but doesn't spend too much time
re-checking <commit2> and <commit3> (which are new states, but much
more trustworthy than the fixup since the patches are really the
same. I may check them later, but don't want to lose time with them
while hacking).
