According to git-rebase's doc [1], that's true only for the new "merge" backend,
though, (which would be in use here in 2.28 unless 'rebase.backend' is set to 'apply').

On a slightly related note, I noticed that that part of the documentation is not 100% exact. I states:
"Further, both backends only call the post-checkout hook with the starting point commit of the rebase, 
not the intermediate commits nor the final commit."

but I noticed that in an interactive rebase, the post-checkout hook *is* called for commits
marked as "edit", when the rebase stops to edit them (I haven't checked if it's called when the rebase stops
for other reasons, like conflicts.)

Maybe we should tweak the wording of the doc  ?

Cheers,

Philippe.
