3.1.8 Using the input line

The input line is one of the main methods used by git to interact with the user. All the answers the user should give in order to perform some operation and all the shell like commands are built using it. So here is a description of all the basic editing operations that the `input line' provides. They are very much inspired from Emacs, so Emacs users should have no problem using them.
