Ideally, I think we should do a sanity check before starting the rebase,
and error out if we encounter an invalid command, a command that should
be followed by a valid sha1 and does not, ...

But currently, we do the verification while applying commands, and I
don't think there's anything really helpful to do if we encounter a
"drop this-is-not-a-sha1" command.

So, IMHO, why not do this check, but I'm not sure it will actually help
much.
