Thanks to Christian and Elijah for their comments on V1.

I've updated commit message for patch 1 to try and be clearer about the removal of a call to strbuf_release() and spilt out the test changes from the old patch 2 into a separate preparatory patch.

V1 Cover Letter:

This is a series of rebase reflog related patches with the aim of unifying the reflog messages from the two rebase backends.

 * improve rebase reflog test coverage
 * rebase --merge: fix reflog messages for --continue and --skip
 * rebase --apply: respect GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
 * rebase --abort: improve reflog message
 * unify reflog messages between the two rebase backends
This series is based on pw/use-inprocess-checkout-in-rebase
Phillip Wood (8):
  rebase --apply: remove duplicated code
  t3406: rework rebase reflog tests
  rebase --merge: fix reflog when continuing
  rebase --merge: fix reflog message after skipping
  rebase --apply: respect GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
  rebase --apply: make reflog messages match rebase --merge
  rebase --abort: improve reflog message
  rebase: cleanup action handling

     -    rebase --merge: fix reflog when continuing
     +    t3406: rework rebase reflog tests
      
     -    The reflog message for a conflict resolution committed by "rebase
     -    --continue" looks like
     +    Refactor the tests in preparation for adding more tests in the next
     +    few commits. The reworked tests use the same function for testing both
     +    the "merge" and "apply" backends. The test coverage for the "apply"
     +    backend now includes setting GIT_REFLOG_ACTION.
      
     -            rebase (continue): commit subject line
     -
     -    Unfortunately the reflog message each subsequent pick look like
     -
     -            rebase (continue) (pick): commit subject line
     -
     -    Fix this by setting the reflog message for "rebase --continue" in
     -    sequencer_continue() so it does not affect subsequent commits. This
     -    introduces a memory leak similar to the one leaking GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
     -    in pick_commits(). Both of these will be fixed in a future series that
     -    stops the sequencer calling setenv().
     +    Note that rebasing the "conflicts" branch does not create any
     +    conflicts yet. A commit to do that will be added in the next commit
     +    and the diff ends up smaller if we have don't rename the branch when
     +    it is added.
