We could use 'rebase-apply' or any directory, but currently we don't use any,
and 'rebase-apply' is for 'git am'.

Fix that in git-rebase--interactive.sh then, where this code came from.

It's the same we do in git-rebase--interactive.sh.

If git-rebase--cherry(-pick)?.sh does the same as 'git-rebase--am.sh', we can
replace it, and make yet another step of replacing scripts (git am) with C code
(git cherry-pick). I thought I explained that somewhow, maybe I didn't.

It still makes sense to fix the broken --keep-empty behavior.
