Nice!

Actually, even "git rebase --continue" works.  And you do not really have 
to commit, either, just updating your index is fine.  In fact, if you say 
"git reset --hard", it will skip the commit.

Yes, it is a leftover from the bad old days, when this script was called 
edit-patch-series, and I was a rebase hater.

In the meantime, somebody on IRC explained to me how rebase works, and 
that rebase lovers were quite annoyed not to be able to just resolve the 
conflicts and "git rebase --continue".

I'd appreciate if you prepared a patch with better explanations, and also 
reviewed the man page, if it is in good shape (and does not lie about the 
current behaviour).

Thanks,
Dscho
