[PATCH v2] git-rebase-interactive: you can also add new commits to the "work list"

[Kjetil Barvik]

Add some lines to document that you can also use 'git rebase
--interactive' to add new commits to the rebased patch-series.  This
is sort of running multiple 'git cherry-pick' commands in one go.

 not look at them but at the commit names ("deadbee" and "fa1afe1" in this
 example), so do not delete or edit the names.

 By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can tell
 'git-rebase' to stop after applying that commit, so that you can edit
 the files and/or the commit message, amend the commit, and continue
