Very true - after reading this, I learned about the '-x' option to git-rebase -i :-) I changed the patch so it now properly looks for '^pick ' patterns. I hope this should do the trick under all circumstances? In the case of having 'exec' lines interspersed, the $commitcount becomes a lot less useful (no comparison to editor line numbers), though.

This change shows the total number of commits in the comments below the commit list. After the rebase edit, the number can be quickly compared to the line number of the last commit - by scrolling to the last entry in the rebase TODO list. This gives peace of mind that no commits have been lost in the edit.
