[PATCH] rebase -p: fix incorrect commit message when calling `git merge`.

[PATCH] rebase -p: fix incorrect commit message when calling `git merge`.

[gregory.herrero]

From: Gregory Herrero <gregory.herrero@oracle.com>

Since commit dd6fb0053 ("rebase -p: fix quoting when calling `git
merge`"), commit message of the merge commit being rebased is passed to
the merge command using a subshell executing 'git rev-parse --sq-quote'.

Double quotes are needed around this subshell so that, newlines are
kept for the git merge command.

Before this patch, following merge message:

    "Merge mybranch into mynewbranch

    Awesome commit."

becomes:

    "Merge mybranch into mynewbranch Awesome commit."

after a rebase -p.

Fixes: "dd6fb0053 rebase -p: fix quoting when calling `git merge`"
