This config setting is pretty useful, but it unfortunately stops all non-interactive rebases with a bogus error message. This patch fixes that.
Reported via a commit comment on GitHub [https://github.com/git/git/commit/969de3ff0e0#commitcomment-33257187]. Changes since v1: * Based on Junio's advice, the commit message was improved considerably. * The error message now also mentions --exec, so that users do not have to know that --exec implies the interactive backend.
