As we are slowly teaching the sequencer to perform the hard work for the interactive rebase, we need to read files that were written by shell scripts.
These files typically contain a single line and are invariably ended by a line feed (and possibly a carriage return before that). Let's use a helper to read such files and to remove the line ending.
