Nelson Benitez Leon opened a discussion with a patch with this in the
note:
Hi, I was using git rebase -i for some time now and never occured to
me I could reorder the commit lines to affect the order the commits
are applied, learnt that recently from a git tutorial.
Nelson's patch was to stress the fact that the lines in the insn sheet can
be re-ordered in a much more verbose way. Let's add a one-liner reminder
and also remind that the lines in the insn sheet is read from top to
bottom, unlike the "git log" output.

# f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message
# x, exec = run command (the rest of the line) using shell
#
+# These lines can be re-ordered; they are executed from top to bottom.
+#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
