rebase -i: recognize short commands without arguments

j6t · gitster · commit 3a4a4cab3ef0 · 2018-10-26T10:20:23.000+09:00
The sequencer instruction 'b', short for 'break', is rejected:

  error: invalid line 2: b

The reason is that the parser expects all short commands to have
an argument. Permit short commands without arguments.
