smartlog: show rebase(/etc.) status

[talios]

Description of the bug

I seem to have gotten my repository into a bit of a pickle with branchless and I'm not sure how to proceed, beyond trashing my repository.

The first problem is we primarily use git-flow, tho I've been trying to use branchless for local work, committing my stacks on the develop branch, things were working fine til I was trying to amend a stack, and ran git sync by accident rather than git restack, and everything went to hell.

It turns out I had legit installed, along with various legit aliases defined in my main ~/.gitconfig file which seems to have been used in favour of branchless (it would be good for the init process to check that maybe).

Anyway, my repository now seems to be stuck on a rebase even tho the smart log shows me on the current stack:

$ git sl
◇ 6546e6e 6d (master) Initial commit
┃
◯ a1bd9e9 2d NNNNNNN
┃
◯ 52ace35 2d NNNNNNNN
┃
● 8a4047e 30m (ᐅ develop) NNNNNNN

Expected behavior

I shouldn't be stuck in a rebase.

Actual behavior

I'm stuck in a rebase.

...interesting - aborting the rebase, then cherry-picking the latest sha seems to have resolved the issue.

[arxanas]

The smartlog doesn't indicate the current rebase status (but maybe it should).

Generally speaking, if you're stuck in a rebase, then you should use git rebase --abort; it shouldn't be different when git-branchless is involved. (It's true that git-branchless initiates some rebases for you.)

I think git sync behaving poorly with rewritten commits, as you've done, is basically a footgun. It's also discussed at https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/issues/1137. I'll leave that issue open for that, and rename this issue to address smartlog rebase status.
