Catch and handle git-commit failures in git-rebase --interactive

spearce · gitster · commit dbedf9729bd3 · 2007-12-19T17:17:27.000-08:00
If git-commit fails for any reason then git-rebase needs to stop
and not plow through the rest of the series.  Its unlikely that
a future git-commit will succeed if the current attempt failed.
