rebase--interactive: avoid empty list in shell for-loop
The $strategy_opts variable contains a space-separated list
of strategy options, each individually shell-quoted. To loop
over each, we "unwrap" them by doing an eval like:
eval '
for opt in '"$strategy_opts"'
do
...
done
'
Note the quoting that means we expand $strategy_opts inline
in the code to be evaluated (which is the right thing
because we want the IFS-split and de-quoting). If the
variable is empty, however, we ask the shell to eval the
following code:
for opt in
do
...
done
without anything between "in" and "do". Most modern shells
are happy to treat that like a noop, but reportedly ksh88 on
AIX considers it a syntax error. So let's catch the case
that the variable is empty and skip the eval altogether
(since we know the loop would be a noop anyway).
