It would be the best way to do so.  This string comes from git-rebase.sh
(or builtin/rebase.c) -- they format it this way before invoking
git-rebase--interactive.  So either I modify both of them (for this, I
would need to rebase my branch on master), or I can split this string in
builtin/rebase--interactive.c.  I prefer the first option, but maybe
changing the base of this series will not please Junio.

Cheers,
