Note that 'git status' is already doing this, but shows only 2 items of each:

$ git status
interactive rebase in progress; onto 3772427
Last commands done (2 commands done):
   pick a48812c some commit title
   exec false
Next commands to do (2 remaining commands):
   pick 9d7835d some other commit
   pick c0e0fa8 one more subject
  (use "git rebase --edit-todo" to view and edit)
You are currently editing a commit while rebasing branch 'master' on '3772427'.
...

The idea was that 2 lines of context is often sufficient, and doesn't eat too much screen space so it makes sense to show it by default.

I think it makes sense to have another command that shows the whole sequence, but perhaps it could also be just an option for "git status".
