Chad Boles reported that `git rebase -I` recently started producing
errors when the editor saves files with DOS line endings. The symptom
is:
Warning: the command isn't recognized in the following line:
-
You can fix this with 'git rebase --edit-todo'.
Or you can abort the rebase with 'git rebase --abort'.
The real bummer is that simply calling `git rebase --continue` "fixes"
it.
Turns out that we now check whether a single Carriage Return is a valid
command. This new check was introduced recently (1db168ee9, ironically
named "rebase-i: loosen over-eager check_bad_cmd check").
The proposed fix is to teach *all* shell scripts in Git to accept CR as
a field separator. Since LF is already specified as such, it should be
an uncontentious change.
