The one piece of information that I often want is the SHA1 of the commit
that is currently being applied.  Currently I have to look through my
scrollback for the "stopping" message or poke around in .git/.

Having that in the output of "git status" would be really nice,

... and should be rather easy as it is the content of
.git/rebase-merge/stopped-sha

Perhaps "git status" could say stg like "(applying 1d3fb08, 2/5)"

output format you've posted is a big improvement over what we have at
the moment for this case.

My idea when I wrote the item on the wiki was to keep the a very short
summary in "git status", and to put all the information one could whish
in a separate command. I'd describe it as a complement more than an
improvement ;-).

Having "git status" display (even more) "context sensitive"
information during "git rebase" or "git merge" would be very welcome.
Please, if at all possible, don't make that a separate command.
