git rebase --interactive "forgets" strategies after --continue

I had some problems rebasing a repository that had empty commits, which caused the rebase to stop. After continuing it with git rebase --continue, it seems that the strategies I originally gave were forgotten.

I quickly glanced at the code, and it seems that a lot of rebase options are stored in in a $state_dir, but $strategy_args is not one of them.

Since git rebase --interactive not ignoring strategies (https://github.com/git/git/commit/db2b3b820e2b28da268cc88adff076b396392dfe) is a recent change to Git (only available in 1.8.4-rc+), I believe that this was overlooked.
