We don't have an explicit guideline, but please do not check stderr 
output using test_cmp or test_i18ncmp. The reason is that some shells 
write trace output to stderr when run under 'set -x'. That is, when you 
run this test as

      ./t3404-rebase-interactive.sh -x -v

it will fail because there is now more text in actual2 than expected. We 
have a number of cases like this elsewhere, but we should not stack new 
cases on the pile.

Please use test_i18ngrep:

	test_i18ngrep "Successfully rebased and updated" actual2 &&
	test_line_count = 2 actual1
