The following patch adds an env. variable for the branch name that we were on before the rebase operation started. This is for use by `--exec <cmd>`. The need for fetching the branch name came up while making a script for `--exec` and it seemed that parsing the name out of the first line of `git branch --list` was the best approach. I thought that was inconvenient. Why not an environment variable set by git-rebase(1)? (open question) See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50124157/1725151 § Implementation The implementation is inspired by `builtin/branch.c:print_current_branch_name`.
