Description Pierre-Yves Bigourdan CLA 2020-04-29 11:29:09 EDT 
When initiating an interactive rebase through the IDE, there's a high likelihood that users will then want to use the "Interactive Rebase" view.

However, this is not a view that I use often (but really enjoy it when I do :)), so I personally close it as soon as I'm done.

It would be nice if the view could be automatically opened when starting the interactive rebase, and closed once it's done. Ideally these behaviours could be configurable by a couple of user preferences.

Opening the view automatically is possible and makes sense. Shouldn't need any preference either.

Automatically closing it may not be the best; it'd be rather non-standard behavior.
