Perhaps "rebasing *branch* 'rebase_conflicts'"
Or even "rebasing branch 'rebase_conflicts' on <sha1sum>"

In the "rebase" case, you test state->branch for null-ness. Don't you need the same test here? (What happens if you start a bisect from a detached HEAD state?)

Looks good. One minor thing, if the ref happens to be refs/somewhere-not-in-heads, should we still say "rebasing branch 'refs/...'" or just "rebasing 'refs/...'", or something else?

>

<sha1sum> being SHA-1 of HEAD? Why would you need it? In short version, not full SHA-1?

I did read git-bisect.sh. I did not think it allowed bisecting on detached HEAD. A simple test just told me otherwise. Will update.

I think this should not happen, since HEAD can either point to a branch or directly to a sha1 in normal conditions. But it doesn't harm to be defensive, in case ...

>> Or even "rebasing branch 'rebase_conflicts' on <sha1sum>"
>

Not HEAD, but .git/rebase-merge/onto, i.e. the target of the rebase. Ideally, I would have loved to see "rebasing master on origin/master", but I do not think the target ref name is stored during rebase.

> Why would you need it?

The typical use-case is starting a rebase, do something else, come back the day after and wonder wft. Which branch is being rebased is probably the most useful, but the target may help too. But I can live without ;-).

> In short version, not full SHA-1?

If you add it, the short one (long version would make overly long line with limited use).

Perhaps do it with --format=%s then. It often is useless to know only the commit object name (or the branch name for that matter, as you wouldn't know what exact commit the branch tip happens to have) you are rebasing onto.

SHA1-in-tests radar blinking.
Would it be possible to compute the expected output, as in
	dest=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD^^)
	cat >expected <<-EOF &&
	# Not currently on any branch.
	# You are currently rebasing branch '\''rebase_conflicts'\'' on '\''$dest'\''.
?

I'm not sure what to think about the actual change itself yet. Can you give an example of when you felt the need for this, so it can be included in the commit message or documentation?

Thanks. Jonathan

 - avoid hardcoding SHA-1 in t7512
 - I did not act on Junio's --format=%s idea because frankly I don't
   care much about the "on 'xxx'" part. It was Matthieu's idea and he
   did not make any comments on --format=%s

Looking good. Junio, do you need a new patch mail or can you just amend the commit message?

I'd like to see you either
 - send a reroll, making it clear it is a reroll, or
 - tell me to amend.

instead of asking which one I would prefer ;-) One less message I have to respond to that way.

"commit --amend" done.
