Another thing is that branches as objects could store a lot more
information, like:

 - the merge-base and HEAD for a rebase (and the --onto)

 - the interactive rebase plan!  (and diffs to what would have been
the non-interactive plan)

 - the would-be no-op non-interactive rebase plan post rebase (again,
so elucidate what commit splitting and such things occurred during a
rebase)
