For day-to-day operations, what we already have in status already qualifies as 'useful command' to me:

$ git status
rebase in progress; onto 7f9a792
You are currently rebasing branch 'master' on '7f9a792'.
  (fix conflicts and then run "git rebase --continue")
  (use "git rebase --skip" to skip this patch)
  (use "git rebase --abort" to check out the original branch)

I like the output of "git status" to be concise. OTOH, there are tons of information in .git/rebase-merge/ that could be displayed to the user.
