OK, good. One subtlety to watch out for is when commit messages are 
edited. That is, if you edit the proposed message at 'rebase --continue' 
after the first squash failed, is the new text preserved until the last 
squash? I *think* that previously that was the case.

That said, I do appreciate the new modus operandi. The state when a rebase 
is interrupted is much clearer than earlier: now HEAD contains everything 
that was successfully replayed so far, and the index anything that failed.
