If the user gives an empty argument to --exec then git creates a todo
list that it cannot parse. The rebase starts to run before erroring out
with
error: missing arguments for exec
error: invalid line 2: exec
You can fix this with 'git rebase --edit-todo' and then run 'git rebase --continue'.
Or you can abort the rebase with 'git rebase --abort'.
Instead check for empty commands before starting the rebase.
Also check that the command does not contain any newlines as the
todo-list format is unable to cope with multiline commands. Note that
this changes the behavior, before this change one could do
git rebase --exec='echo one
exec echo two'
and it would insert two exec lines in the todo list, now it will error
out.
