Well, it's a rebase command.  In addition to
pick/edit/reword/squash/fixup you can do 'exec make sandbox', or more
likely some script that builds a bunch of things and returns non-zero on
failure.  Git will then run that command at that point in the rebase
(say, pick the first commit, exec) and if the exec fails, you get
dropped to a command prompt and can edit the previous commit, etc.
