From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> In the case that the rebase boils down to a fast-forward, the built-in rebase reset the working tree twice: once to start the rebase at `onto`, then realizing that the original HEAD was an ancestor, `reset_head()` was called to update the original ref and to point HEAD back to it. That second `reset_head()` call does not need to touch the working tree, though, as it does not change the actual tip commit. So let's avoid that unnecessary work.
