Re: New feature discussion: git rebase --status

Maybe we can display previous and next commits to provide some
context. Like we do for diff.
For example:

$ git status
# HEAD detached from ecb9f3e
# Already applied 330 patches (displaying next 3):
#     b170635... my_commit_message
#     b170635... my_commit_message
#     b170635... my_commit_message
# Already applied 119 (displaying last 3)
#     b170635... my_commit_message
#     b170635... my_commit_message
#     b170635... my_commit_message

I think you meant one of them to be

    # Still to be applied 119 (showing the first 3)

instead.  I am not sure if it is worth 8 lines, especially given
that "git log --oneline -$n" would give you "Already applied" part
that is beyond what will be shown in this message easily if you
wanted to.  So it might be enough to show "The one that has last
been replayed" (aka "HEAD") and "The one you are in the middle of
replaying".
