'git rebase' uses the full onto sha1 for the reflog message whereas 'git rebase -i' uses the short sha1. This is not only inconsistent, but can lead to problems when the reflog is inspected at a later time at which that abbreviation may have become ambiguous. Make 'rebase -i' use the full onto sha1, as well.
