This fixes a bug where we read config & options when "git rebase -i -x make" starts, and will understand the "--no-reschedule-failed-exec" option, but once a command fails we'll lose track of having had a "--no-reschedule-failed-exec" and will happily re-read the "rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true" config the user might have. Thus we'll have config winning over explicit command-line options. This series fixes that bug. Changes since v1: * I forgot how test_config works, and was doing a test_when_finished "test_unconfig", which isn't needed, duh! Thanks to Phillip Wood for that & other reviews on this series. * There was a discussion about how to add yet another rebase machinery state file. I think the consensus is "let's just do it like this", i.e. we could write some tri-state content to the file, but we'd get into back-compat issues with other git versions. There was a discussiob about how to manage this whole state (a DB, JSON?) in another thread, let's kick the can of how exactly we store state down the line, and just fix the bug using the existing state saving convention for now.
