I'm sorry, but I'm confused about what I'm supposed to do now.
There is now another test case and it sounds like you would prefer that
one over mine, but I didn't write it and there is no SOB, so I cannot
submit that with the fix if I were to "squash them together".
Here's my SOB for the diff in

I think that typically for small suggestions like that we just add a
Helped-by: trailer but feel free to add my SOB if you want.
I am not a regular contributor so I don't have a good grasp on things
like why you don't want a new test file for this,
I think keeping related tests together helps contributors see which test
files to run when they're changing code (running the whole suite each
time is too slow). There is also a (small) setup overhead for each new
file. For tests like this it is a bit ambiguous whether it belongs with
the other "rebase --exec" tests or the other "cherry-pick" tests. I
opted to put it with the other "rebase --exec" tests as I think it is
really fixing a bug with rebase rather than cherry-pick.
