You may have a look at how "contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh" does it.
It has stuff like:

        if [ -d "$g/rebase-merge" ]; then
                __git_eread "$g/rebase-merge/head-name" b
                __git_eread "$g/rebase-merge/msgnum" step
                __git_eread "$g/rebase-merge/end" total
                if [ -f "$g/rebase-merge/interactive" ]; then
                        r="|REBASE-i"
                else
                        r="|REBASE-m"
                fi
...

Cheers,
