While factoring out the state writing code a few patches back, I went
through each of the pieces of state that was written. I was a bit
hesitant to include this patch since I'm not quite sure why the code
was introduced, but I thought I would include it anyway to hear what
you have to say.

There used to be bug when using --ff when rebasing a root commit. This
was fixed in 6355e50 (builtin/revert.c: don't dereference a NULL
pointer, 2010-09-27). Could this have been the reason for the check?
Thomas, do you remember?

I think this just ended up being such a strange test because of the
following hunk in 8e75abf (rebase -i: use new --ff cherry-pick option,
2010-03-06):
