Such information could be not enough.  I understand that "git status"
output space is limited, but it would be nice if e.g. "git status -v"
described current state in more detail:

  rebase in progress: [2/3] War on nbsp: a bit of retreat"
  rebasing xx/foo --onto master~5

It would describe which branch were we rebasing, and on what commit
(preferring for name-rev description to start from branch we were
rebasing onto, if possible).
