Doesn't this exit look suspicious? The existing callsites of this
shell function has a lot of code after them (e.g. when "continue"
$action is given, run_specific_rebase is run) but there is no exit
after the call returns, so they may already be expecting the
function not to return, exiting by itself. But then the last step
of this function in the original code, ". git-rebase--$type", would
be the one that is causing us to exit, no?
So it is either (1) the added code is unreachable and unexercised at
this point in the series, or (2) my analysis above is incorrect and
". git-rebase--$type" does return to let the caller proceed, but
this patch changes the behaviour and breaks the caller. I think it
is the former but then the organization of the series does not make
sense.
Perhaps this should come a bit later in the series?
At least the log message should mention that this is adding an
unreachable cruft at this step, if the order is to be kept.
