i18n.commitEncoding::
Character encoding the commit messages are stored in; git itself
does not care per se, but this information is necessary e.g. when
ignored if portable keystroke input is not available.
log.date::
- Set default date-time mode for the log command. Setting log.date

--autosquash::
+--no-autosquash::
When the commit log message begins with "squash! ..." (or
"fixup! ..."), and there is a commit whose title begins with
the same ..., automatically modify the todo list of rebase -i
commit from `pick` to `squash` (or `fixup`).

--no-ff::
With --interactive, cherry-pick all rebased commits instead of

-----------------------------
+Reordering and editing commits usually creates untested intermediate
+steps. You may want to check that your history editing did not break
+anything by running a test, or at least recompiling at intermediate
+points in history by using the "exec" command (shortcut "x"). You may
+do so by creating a todo list like this one:
+
+-------------------------------------------
+pick deadbee Implement feature XXX
+fixup f1a5c00 Fix to feature XXX
+exec make
+pick c0ffeee The oneline of the next commit
+edit deadbab The oneline of the commit after
+exec cd subdir; make test
+...
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The interactive rebase will stop when a command fails (i.e. exits with
+non-0 status) to give you an opportunity to fix the problem. You can
+continue with `git rebase --continue`.
+
+The "exec" command launches the command in a shell (the one specified
+in `$SHELL`, or the default shell if `$SHELL` is not set), so you can
+use shell features (like "cd", ">", ";" ...). The command is run from
+the root of the working tree.
