Cover letter [PATCH 0/1] rebase: teach `--exec` about `GIT_REBASE_BRANCH`

The following patch adds an env. variable for the branch name that we were on before the rebase operation started. This is for use by --exec <cmd>.

The need for fetching the branch name came up while making a script for --exec and it seemed that parsing the name out of the first line of git branch --list was the best approach.

I thought that was inconvenient. Why not an environment variable set by git-rebase(1)? (open question)

See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50124157/1725151

§ Implementation

The implementation is inspired by
builtin/branch.c:print_current_branch_name.
