[PATCH 1/2] rebase -i -p: handle index and workdir correctly

'git rebase -i -p' forgot to update the index and working directory during fast forwards. Fix this. Restores plain 'git rebase -i -p' to be a no-op.

Also, it attempted to do a fast forward even if it was instructed not to commit (via -n). Fall back to the cherry-pick code path and let that handle the issue for us.
