There are two backends available for rebasing, viz, the am and the interactive. Naturally, there shall be some features that are implemented in one but not in the other. One such flag is --ignore-whitespace which indicates merge mechanism to treat lines with only whitespace changes as unchanged. Wire the interactive rebase to also understand the --ignore-whitespace flag by translating it to -Xignore-space-change.
