While I agree that doing a sanity check before starting the rebase is a better idea, it would not be logic to do so only for the 'drop' command, it should be done for all of the various commands (as you said, checking if the commands are valid, checking if the SHA-1 following the command is valid if it was expecting one...). However I think that it should be in a different patch, changing the whole checking system of rebase is not directly linked to the idea of the 'drop' command.
