I do not see a point in naming this all caps. The use site would be
a lot more pleasant to read when the reader does not have to care if
this is implemented as a preprocessor macro or a helper function.

Hmph. What is this loop doing? Is it decoding a sq-quoted buffer
or something? Don't we have a helper function to do that?

The added "(except, ...)" reads as if "even if we are reverting, if
that is done as part of an interactive rebase, the authorship rule
for a revert does not apply".
If that is not what you meant, i.e. if you did not mean to imply
that "rebase -i" doing a revert is a normal thing, this needs to be
rephrased to avoid the misinterpretation.
