```
When used, this flag outputs number of lines after stripspace has removed trailing whitespace.
With `--line-count`, git-rebase--interactive.sh need not rely on `wc -l` for line
count.

This is my first attempt at the small project listed here: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SmallProjectsIdeas#implement_.27--count-lines.27_in_.27git_stripspace.27.
With this, --line-count can be used with stripspace, instead of having to pipe its output to `wc -l` in git-rebase--interactive.sh. I went with --line-count and not --count-lines since its short form (-c) is already in use, and I think -l is more apt for this.
Comments?


Thanks and regards,
Sidhant Sharma [:tk]

Isn't that page somewhat stale?

Oh, I should've checked first. My bad, I was just looking to get familiar with the codebase.


Thanks

And its reroll:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/279742

The discussion seems to indicate that we weren't in favor of
addition of this feature at least back then, e.g.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/279742/focus=279888
