[PATCH] rebase -i: do not update "done" when rescheduling command

From

Message-ID
<pull.1492.git.1679237337683.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

As the sequencer executes todo commands it appends them to .git/rebase-merge/done. This file is used by "git status" to show the recently executed commands. Unfortunately when a command is rescheduled the command preceding it is erroneously appended to the "done" file. This means that when rebase stops after rescheduling "pick B" the "done" file contains

	pick A
	pick B
	pick A
instead of
	pick A
	pick B

Fix this by not updating the "done" file when adding a rescheduled command back into the "todo" file. A couple of the existing tests are modified to improve their coverage as none of them trigger this bug or check the "done" file.

Note that the rescheduled command will still be appended to the "done" file again when it is successfully executed. Arguably it would be better not to do that but fixing it would be more involved.

    rebase -i: do not update "done" when rescheduling command
    
    This fixes the output of "git status" when rebase stops for a
    rescheduled command.
    
    Stefan - thanks for reporting this, hopefully it will be easy enough to
    update lazygit to check the last command in the done file as well as the
    second to last command for older versions of git.
