I somehow suspected that it would be much more messy, but with your refactoring, things do not look that bad as I feared ;-) The only use case it might be useful, however, is to start without -v, realize that a verbose output may help you resolve conflicts better, and continuing with the verbose option, which conceptually should be helpful. But in practice I doubt the ability to ask for -v output in the middle would be so helpful, so doing this may not be worth it. I am not a regular rebaser anymore, so I wouldn't be a good judge beyond just my gut feeling. Comments from heavy rebase users who often see conflicts are appreciated.
