[PATCH v3 0/2] Fix interactive rebase when the editor saves with CR/LF

[Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>]

Chad Boles reported that `git rebase -i` recently started producing
errors when the editor saves files with DOS line endings. The symptom
is:

	Warning: the command isn't recognized in the following line:
	 -

	You can fix this with 'git rebase --edit-todo'.
	Or you can abort the rebase with 'git rebase --abort'.

The real bummer is that simply calling `git rebase --continue` "fixes"
it.

Turns out that we now check whether a single Carriage Return is a valid
command. This new check was introduced recently (1db168ee9, ironically
named "rebase-i: loosen over-eager check_bad_cmd check").

The proposed fix is to teach *all* shell scripts in Git to accept CR as
a field separator. Since LF is already specified as such, it should be
an uncontentious change.
