git: The break command does not allow for comments

Olliver Schinagl· Dec 22, 2022, 10:41 UTC · lore

When doing an interactive rebase, I'd like to leave notes to myself why I'm doing a break somewhere. Currently, the 'b' or 'break' command do not like any arguments.

It should however be quite alright to add a (quoted) string after a break, without it causing to error out.

I think this is a good suggestion, I've posted a patch at

- I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
