Actually, the part that uses it is not shown in the patch (one of the many, many reasons why I try to discourage patch review and encourage code review instead). The relevant section currently looks somewhat like this: -- snip -- set_fake_editor () { write_script fake-editor.sh <<-\EOF case "$1" in */COMMIT_EDITMSG) test -z "$EXPECT_HEADER_COUNT" || test "$EXPECT_HEADER_COUNT" = "$(sed -n '1s/^# This is a combination of \(.*\) commits\./\1/p' < "$1")" || test "# # GETTEXT POISON #" = "$(sed -n '1p' < "$1")" || exit test -z "$FAKE_COMMIT_MESSAGE" || echo "$FAKE_COMMIT_MESSAGE" > "$1" test -z "$FAKE_COMMIT_AMEND" || echo "$FAKE_COMMIT_AMEND" >> "$1" exit ;; esac test -z "$EXPECT_COUNT" || test "$EXPECT_COUNT" = $(sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d' < "$1" | wc -l) || exit test -z "$FAKE_LINES" && exit grep -v '^#' < "$1" > "$1".tmp rm -f "$1" echo 'rebase -i script before editing:' cat "$1".tmp action=pick for line in $FAKE_LINES; do case $line in pick|p|squash|s|fixup|f|edit|e|reword|r|drop|d) action="$line";; exec_*|x_*|break|b) echo "$line" | sed 's/_/ /g' >> "$1";; "#") echo '# comment' >> "$1";; ">") echo >> "$1";; bad) action="badcmd";; fakesha) echo "$action XXXXXXX False commit" >> "$1" action=pick;; *) sed -n "${line}s/^pick/$action/p" < "$1".tmp >> "$1" action=pick;; esac done echo 'rebase -i script after editing:' cat "$1" EOF test_set_editor "$(pwd)/fake-editor.sh" } -- snap -- Most importantly, `action` is used here: sed -n "${line}s/^pick/$action/p" < "$1".tmp >> "$1" and I changed it to sed -n "${line}s/^[a-z][a-z]*/$action/p" < "$1".tmp >> "$1" In other words, rather than expecting the lines that are used by the fake editor to start with `pick`, after this patch, the tests expect the todo lists to start with a command consisting of lower-case ASCII letters (which catches `pick`, of course, but also `label`, `reset` and `merge`). After this patch, the fake editor also does not try to replace whatever command it finds by `pick`, but it keeps it as-is instead. Ciao, Dscho
