It would appear to me that you used a side effect of an implementation
detail: that `git rebase -i` was implemented entirely as a shell script.
In my mind, this was a fragile assumption, and that is why...

... this commit, which is a long-overdue start of cleaning up our act,
broke your code's assumption.
I am afraid that your code placed too much of a dependency on an
implementation detail that changed.
In short: I think that your fix to your script is correct.
