I wonder for what reason rebase--interactive generates a patch using

It was an explicit request by people who use git-rebase regularly, and
missed being able to see the patch in --interactive.
Can we generate the patch with plumbing, diff-{files,index,tree}? They
by-pass any diff drivers.
I'd like to get rid of this use of 'git diff' because it invokes
external diff drivers, which is totally unwanted if the driver is
interactive - like the 'windiff' thing that I posted a week ago.
So you do not want to be able to run git-rebase (without -i)?
It wouldn't work anyway in my use-case (versioned Word documents), but
rebase -m and rebase -i could run without manual intervention as long as
there are no content merges.
In this particular case, I only wanted to amend the message of a commit 3
steps down in the history, and I had not expected any diff drivers to be
fired up.
