This series also renames the backends from > "interactive" (or "sequencer") to "merge" and from "am" to "apply". Thanks. "git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing "--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral equivalent of "format-patch piped to am"). The rebase.backend configuration variable can be set to customize.
