Johannes SchindelinHi Stefan,
just wanted to express my gratitude for your idea to introduce the `break` command in `git rebase -i`'s todo list. I use it *all* the time now.
Ciao, Dscho

+1. Before that, I was using `x bash`, and ended up doing `git rebase --continue` in that shell in many cases, which didn't end up so well when I terminated said shell (just an error message, though, nothing actually broke as a consequence). This feature is a blessing.

'x bash' will start another shell, that seems an odd thing to do.
I have been using 'x false' to generate an error exit status to interrupt the rebase and drop into the current shell. Then 'git rebase --continue' to resume.

Indeed, but it used to work quite well for me, too. I usually made extra sure to start a new session by using `exec bash -i`...

That's not so scriptable. I have a couple of scripts around the interactive rebase.
Besides, `b` is much shorter to type than `x false` (and I also cannot tyop it late at night as `x flase`, although that would have the same effect, I guess, of stopping the interactive rebase).
Ciao, Johannes

You're welcome. As you know I am currently taking a break form #git, and it turns out I had my email filters configured wrongly, which means I just realized there is a bunch of emails where I am cc'd.
I do not use the break command myself yet, as I am stuck with an older git version on Mac for now (Macs and Git don't seem to go well together, if only there was an active Apple upstream person...).
Cheers, Stefan

I usually use Homebrew to fix that...
