From 8b637cdab0cb07dbd45d0f0155685455f46981ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2019 03:16:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sequencer: improve error message when an OID could not be parsed The interactive rebase simply complains about an "invalid line" when the object hash of, say, a `pick` line could not be parsed. Let's tell the user what happened in a little more detail.
