In my opinion, switching to SHA is more difficult for users to understand.

I've checked that how SourceTree, Fork and Gitkraken implement this. None of them using SHA in the context of selected commit.

It is not switching to SHA. IMO, my PR adds one more detail that makes things easier to understand.

Please, take a closer look at SourceTree screenshots that you've posted. Context menus show exactly this. They say "Rebase children of 44a784a interactively..." and "Rebase children of 81a0e2a59 interactively..."

SmartGit's menus simply say "Rebase..." and "Rebase interactive from..."

Anyway, I don't think that the sentence "Rebase xxxx to Here" is grammatically correct. It should be "Rebase xxxx here" or "Rebase xxxx to selected commit".

You just pointed out the part which I did not like. When users selected a commit and open context menu of it, why not using a friendly name such as This Commit or Here to reference the one they just selected? If we shows an SHA, do we want them to check what this SHA reference to?

I will change the Rebase xxxx to Here to Rebase xxxx on Here

I will change the Rebase xxxx to Here to Rebase xxxx on Here

Please, change the message to "Rebase xxxx on this commit".

"Here" is not a proper noun, therefore should not start from the capital "H".
And "Rebase to here" seems to me grammatically incorrect construction. High-quality English texts that I've seen, use "to here" in other contexts and constructions. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in English grammar, therefore cannot name specific rules that govern this.

And regarding another commit in this PR, 66d413a

It seems to me that Russian messages is a low-quality result of automatic translation (Russian is my native language :) ). I'd like to keep fixes that I've made in 66d413a.

I do NOT think so. Here is a screenshot from JetBrains Rider

Hmm. This seems reasonable. Although JetBrains developers have Russian roots, I don't think that their knowledge of English is poor.

I'll do it in another PR. I need to consult with existing translation of the ProGit book.
