[PATCH 0/3] rebase -r: support octopus merges

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

The `--rebase-merges` option of `git rebase` generates todo lists that include the merge commits that are to be rebased.

To keep things simpler to review, I decided to support only regular, 2-parent merge commits first.

With this patch series, support is extended to cover also octopus merges.

Johannes Schindelin (3):
  merge: allow reading the merge commit message from a file
  rebase --rebase-merges: add support for octopus merges
  rebase --rebase-merges: adjust man page for octopus support
