Re: [PATCH 5/6] sequencer: duplicate the result of resolve_ref_unsafe()

> When 'git rebase -i --update-refs' generates the todo list for the
> rebased commit range, an 'update-ref' instruction is inserted for each
> ref that points to one of those commits, except for the rebased branch
> (because at the end of the rebase it will be updated anyway) and any
