[PATCH v5] git-rebase--interactive.sh: add config option for custom instruction format

[Michael Rappazzo <rappazzo@gmail.com>]

A config option 'rebase.instructionFormat' can override the
default 'oneline' format of the rebase instruction list.

Since the list is parsed using the left, right or boundary mark plus
the sha1, they are prepended to the instruction format.
