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 
https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1460.git.1673519809510.gitgitgadget@gmail.com 
- I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Best Wishes
