Good that you mention it: The one-liner is really convenient. I tend to
replace it by reminders like "====== fix unused var", "===== edit msg",
etc. (after marking the commit "edit") and I'm glad that rebase-i later
prints the one-liner from the insn file rather than the original subject
line before it stops.

(I do it this way because on Windows I can't afford to call rebase-i on a
long patch series for every single task. Rather, I plan the tasks while
the insn editor is open, and this way I keep reminders about what the plan
was.)

No, I definitely don't want the one-liners to end up in the commit
message. ;-)
