-p internally implies -i, but the user doesn't have to know that ;-)

The problem is that the todo file language is not expressive enough
for what -p needs to do.  Running a rebase -p without changing the
todo file should behave reasonably.  On the other hand, if you
rearrange or extend the todo file in many cases that gives unexpected
results.

Hence the recommendation to not use it with -i.
