Subject: [PATCH] git-rebase.sh: Unchain the git-COMMAND into git COMMAND
Message-ID: <3as81nbn.fsf@blue.sea.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/3as81nbn.fsf%40blue.sea.net

```
Change the commadns to use new style 'git COMMAND', without the dash.
Use better syntax in output displayed to user that suggests to use
--continue|--abort commands.

    (For non-builtins, the "git xyzzy" format implies an extra execve(), so
    this script leaves those alone).

Please elaborate. I'm not sure I understand. If the git-<command> syntax
is being phased out, it should be consistent decision accross the tools.

If you call "git xyz", but git-xyz is a script, you will exec the git 
wrapper first, which will then exec git-xyz.  That is an unnecessary exec.

Since the places you touched are already in a git script (i.e. it was 
already called with PATH extended to git's libexec/ directory, if there is 
one), we can avoid that extra exec.

The git-<command> syntax _is_ phased out, but in several steps.  Let's not 
do the third step before the first, otherwise we'll trip.

Ciao,
Dscho
