Do we have to cater to the use-case where the user starts a rebase,
downgrades at a conflict, and then continues?
If not, you could read 'orig-head' first and fall back to 'head', only
writing 'orig-head' in the state saving independent of the mode. That
would give us the chance of removing the redundancy at some point.
