rebase: in --confirm option just abort if hit a conflict

Before this patch, it was prompting the user in both cases 1) when
there is no conflict 2) when there is at least one conflict. But
for simplicity we can just abort if we hit a conflict and no need to
prompt in that case.

Generate a private key (priv.pem):

  $ openssl genrsa -out priv.pem 2048

Generate 2 self-signed certificates from this key (pub.pem, pub-other.pem):

  $ openssl req -new -x509 -key priv.pem -nodes -sha256 -days 9000 \
    -out pub.pem -batch -subj '/CN=localhost/emailAddress=hg@localhost/'
  $ openssl req -new -x509 -key priv.pem -nodes -sha256 -days 9000 \
    -out pub-other.pem -batch -subj '/CN=localhost/emailAddress=hg@localhost/'

Now generate an expired certificate by turning back the system time:

  $ faketime 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z \
    openssl req -new -x509 -key priv.pem -nodes -sha256 -days 1 \
    -out pub-expired.pem -batch -subj '/CN=localhost/emailAddress=hg@localhost/'

Generate a certificate not yet active by advancing the system time:

  $ faketime 2030-01-1T00:00:00Z \
    openssl req -new -x509 -key priv.pem -nodes -sha256 -days 1 \
    -out pub-not-yet.pem -batch -subj '/CN=localhost/emailAddress=hg@localhost/'

Generate a passphrase protected client certificate private key:

  $ openssl genrsa -aes256 -passout pass:1234 -out client-key.pem 2048

Create a copy of the private key without a passphrase:

  $ openssl rsa -in client-key.pem -passin pass:1234 -out client-key-decrypted.pem

Create a CSR and sign the key using the server keypair:

  $ printf '.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\nhg-client@localhost\n.\n.\n' | \
    openssl req -new -key client-key.pem -passin pass:1234 -out client-csr.pem
  $ openssl x509 -req -days 9000 -in client-csr.pem -CA pub.pem -CAkey priv.pem \
    -set_serial 01 -out client-cert.pem

When replacing the certificates, references to certificate fingerprints will
need to be updated in test files.

Fingerprints for certs can be obtained by running:

  $ openssl x509 -in pub.pem -noout -sha1 -fingerprint
  $ openssl x509 -in pub.pem -noout -sha256 -fingerprint
