All I need is to be able to get the commit *immediately* after the
failed 'git rebase'. It looks like .git/ORIG_HEAD has exactly what I

Depends on what you meant by "commit that was skipped", but the
above makes me nervous. ORIG_HEAD is set to the tip of the branch
being rebased at the very beginning, and updated to the current HEAD
(i.e. the result of the last successful step) before --skip is given.
I do not think it ever points into the commits in the original history
that is being replayed.
