Ah, I didn't realize that (now I come to think of it I've only ever used
--stdout to redirect the output). As my perceived lack of pager was the
main reason I suggested using log I'd ignore me.

I think the suggestion of having a ref for 'rebase -i' and 'rebase -m'
could be good as it'd be more flexible though I'm not sure what you'd do
about plain old rebase.
