This will have ramifications on the upcoming patches on top of my
--recreate-merges patches that introduce support for running -i --root
directly through the sequencer. But from your patch, it looks as if things
should Just Work.
FWIW the patch in question is currently here (will be rebased frequently):

Before anybody else can post the suggestion: this could be written more
compactly as
revisions=${squash_onto:+$onto...}$orig_head
As it would not only be more compact, but also a lot less readable, I
would *also* like to point out that I prefer your version.

This is a bug fix. Maybe we can pull it out into its own commit? Commit
message would be something like this:
rebase --root: stop assuming that squash_onto is unset
When the user set the environment variable `squash_onto`, the
`rebase` command would erroneously assume that the user passed the
option `--root`.

Hehe... I guess this fixes that test case for a surprising reason: it is
not that all of a sudden, rebase --root respects --signoff. The reason it
works now is that an "empty" root commit is now rebased correctly.
The test case is simple enough to pass my "can a regression be debugged
easily, even by somebody else than the original author" test, so I do not
mind at all lumping the two issues (--root respects --signoff, and --root
respects empty root commits) into one test case, as that will make the
test suite run faster.
Please note that I do not feel all that strongly about my suggested
modifications to pull out changes from 1/2 and 2/2 into their own
respective commits. If you have the time, and if you feel that there is
merit to my suggestions, please do it. Otherwise, please feel free not to
do it ;-)
So: ACK from me.
Ciao,
Dscho
