I have a stgit stack that is very old (I started it more than 10 years ago), so it has all kinds of WIP patches that I started and then did not quite finish. In several of them I have malformed patch subjects, such as multi-line titles:
$ git show -1 --pretty=%B
subsystem: fix driver
certain change
This breaks "stg rebase -i" because it expects to have one line per patch in the rebase template, but in this case subject spills over to the next line which rebase mistakes for an instruction:
error: unknown instruction action
certain
Fix this my replacing new lines and line feeds in the subject with spaces.
