Good. While this seems to catch all the functions required by the backends, I am fairly certain that the `resolvemsg` variable is used exclusively by the backends, and it should therefore also moved into `git-rebase--common`. See my comments on your https://github.com/git/git/pull/505 for more details. Ciao, Dscho
