Thanks for taking a look; both sound like good suggestions. Since the patch in question has already reached next, here's a patch on top of en/rebase-i-microfixes to make these two changes: -- 8< -- Subject: [PATCH] Whitespace handling improvements with interactive rebase strategy options In commit 0060041df ("Fix use of strategy options with interactive rebases", 2018-06-27), extra whitespace was removed from a generated string to fix up parsing. Instead of assuming one extra space, though, we can just remove all leading whitespace and make the code slightly more robust.
