rebase: store rebase state after each commit Before this patch, we stored the rebase state early in the processing of a node, before we updated the rebase state to indicate that the node was processed. This meant that we could redo the working copy merge and run into conflicts. However, this only happened in the --collapse case if the rebase was interrupted while editing the final commit message; in the case earlier interruptions, we would instead detect the in-process revision by finding two dirstate parents. This patch moves the writing of the rebase state to after we have completed the revision completely, and, importantly, after we have updated the rebase state to mark it done. This means we'll realize that all nodes have been rebased in the case mentioned above of editing the final commit message of a --collapse. See change to test case. I also moved the writing outside of the large if/elif block in _rebasenode(). This shouldn't matter much, but seems cleaner. One observable effect is if rebase was interrupted just after ignoring an obsolete node ("not rebasing ####, already in destination"), we used to come up with the same decision after --continue too, but after this patch we'll instead say "already rebased ###". This seems more consistent, since that's what we would do with obsolete nodes that had been marked done earlier in the process (not only just before the interruption).
