And that's the same if you specify an incorrect command. In both cases, I would probably heed the second line of the advice: git rebase --abort. > Instead check for empty commands before starting the rebase. > > Also check that the command does not contain any newlines as the > todo-list format is unable to cope with multiline commands.

This, however, makes a ton of sense to me. > diff --git a/builtin/rebase.c b/builtin/rebase.c > index 00de70365e..b6c54b03c1 100644 > --- a/builtin/rebase.c > +++ b/builtin/rebase.c > @@ -793,6 +793,24 @@ static void set_reflog_action(struct rebase_options *options) > strbuf_release(&buf); > } > > +static int check_exec_cmd(const char *cmd) > +{ > + int non_blank = 0; > + > + while (*cmd) { > + if (*cmd == '\n') > + return error(_("exec commands cannot contain newlines")); > + if (!isspace(*cmd)) > + non_blank = 1; > + cmd++; > + } > + > + if (non_blank) > + return 0; We are not in a performance critical path here, so I would prefer the readability of this code: if (strchr(cmd, '\n')) return error(...); And if you *really* must, /* Does the command consist purely of whitespace? */ if (!cmd[strspn(cmd, " \t\r\n")]) return error(...); But as I suggested also in a reply to Junio's answer: where would we stop to validate the commands?
