pre-rebase hook: capture documentation in a <<here document

Without this change, the sample hook does not pass a syntax check
(sh -n):

  $ sh -n hooks--pre-rebase.sample
  hooks--pre-rebase.sample: line 101: syntax error near unexpected token `('
  hooks--pre-rebase.sample: line 101: `   merged into it again (either directly or indirectly).'

Our internal release of git @ Google is debian experimental,
which is basically the 'next' branch + this patch + another patch.

AFAICT It is a resend of
https://public-inbox.org/git/20120308122105.GA1562@burratino/

As Jonathan is a Debian Developer, it is easy for us to base
our internal version onto debian experimental, but long term we may
want to base our internal version on the original next. :)
To do so, upstream this one last meaningful patch.

The 'another patch' from above is changing and hardcoding
the version number, which we do not want to upstream.

Thanks,
Stefan

Thanks for sending this in.  I had wanted to do so myself so I could
easily automate building Git packages based on the Debian packaging, but
I never got around to it.
