Sure thing! I will revise the commit as described. And thanks for the
feedback, just diving into `git` development so this is my first time
through and this is very helpful.

While the above two `if` statements were not exclusive, their use in
the below `if` statements did appear to be (at first). The line right
above the if statement just below this comment is:

else if (whence == FROM_CHERRY_PICK) {

Since we are always in a cherry pick state, and the new code
prioritizes checking on a rebase first, I had thought this would work
out. However given the below I can see how the single-pick state could
still crop up. I will update the commit with REBASE_SINGLE and
REBASE_MULTI states to eliminate that without adding redundancy.

Yes, that would be cleaner, I will shift to a switch.
