Hi,
I'll send out a fixed patch series later, where the "commit when
continuing" is th first one, and the style nits are addressed in the
second one. A third one will have a minor fixup, a 4th will address the
detached HEAD issue.
But I need some clarification of the quoting, as detailed below.

Sorry, of course.

There were quite a few instances; I fixed them all.

Thanks (for the latter). I changed that (the former).

There is a corner case, where it is possible:
A - B - C
D - E - F
$ git checkout F
$ git rebase -i C
I am not quite certain how to fix it... And besides, this fix has no place
in a style patch.

They were not even valid before. "$1" it is.

Okay, fixed.

Right.

Ouch. This is wrong. And fixing that exposed another error: it should be
an "||" instead of a "&&".
Since it did not trigger erroneous behaviour, just unnecessary writing, I
put it into the style fixes category.

But in this case, the expression does not change, right? Fixed.

I think so. I never was good with quoting, but I guess that the more
important part is the '-m "$msg"'. This part could use a sanity check of
somebody who gets quoting right, i.e. you.

The difference: the user will not see many irritating error messages.
I changed this code to use a newly written function "remove_if_exists",
which die()s if the file exists and could not be removed.
So this is not technically a style fix, but minor enough that I'll put it
into that patch, too.

Yeah. It did not matter much, as not many users wrote "#something"
anyway.

?
This idiom ": > file" is what I used ever since you said that "touch" is
not so good (not builtin, may behave differently, etc)
Besides, it is not a catch... rebase -i needs to know if it
continues after "edit", so it can amend the current commit (instead of
making a new commit, as in the other cases) before continuing.

Yep. I introduced a new function, "has_action".

I am somewhat wary: I get quoting wrong all the time. Would
$USE_OUTPUT $author_script git commit -F "$MSG" $EDIT_COMMIT
work? I have the slight suspicion that it would not, since
eval "$author_script"
needs extra quoting in $author_script, no?

Will fix in a separate patch.
