I don't think dropping "shell" is a good idea. In this context, "command" could mean "one of pick/fixup/squash/...", a Git command, and at last, an arbitrary line of shell.

I agree that my "shell command" wording was confusing too, but maybe just adding "using the shell" at the end of line would do it. Otherwise, I prefered the "see below + 2 lines explanation" proposal above.
