You messed-up something with the formatting, but I agree that this would
be nice. I'd reverse order between the hints ("(use ... to ...)") and
the "Failed to apply: ...".

This could even become "interactive rebase in progress".
Most of the time, you're supposed to remember whether you ran "git
rebase" with -i, but a typical use-case is when a newbie requests help
like "I don't know what I did, but can you fix it?", and then any
information can be valuable.

Not sure the blank lines are meant to be there, but I wouldn't put them
in the actual output. I'd format it as
Last commands done (5 commands done) :
pick 62609785 commit message1
(see more at .git/rebase-merge/done)
(lower-case "see" to be consistant with other hints)

We usually avoid doing that and provide commands to do this (e.g. "git
rebase --edit-todo" instead of asking the user to do $EDITOR
.git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo), but the ones you show seem OK to me.
There's already at least one instance of this when a rebase fails:
Patch failed at 0001 foo
The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
/tmp/clone/.git/rebase-apply/patch
