Good idea.

Hum, yes, if the commits are empty, and if rebase was invoked without
the `--keep-empty` flag.  In this case, it would die with the message
“Nothing to do”, instead of dropping the commit altogether.

I will add a test case in the next iteration.

Yes, it is.  I just saw in the man page that `exit` returns the last
exit status.

I don’t know, it’s not really problematic if cmd is NULL.  And I think
that when interactive rebase will be a builtin, it will be possible for
cmd to be NULL.

Yes, parse_insn_buffer() will say which line caused the error.  But at
this point, the user should not have changed the todo-list, so this
error should never appear.

Perhaps this is a good use case of BUG()?

Unfortunately, this strbuf is part of the todo_list, and it will be
freed if I call todo_list_release().

:/
