Sorry, I do not quite agree with this reasoning.

Isn't "git status" during a rebase that shows "really long"
information to help the rebase operation a good thing?  In
day-to-day use when you are not in the middle of rebase, the command
would not show what remains to be done, would it?

I may be biased, because I rarely use 'git status' while running
'git rebase' (with or without interactive).  But to me, 'git diff'
would be a more appropriate tool to help me unstuck in managing the
current step of conflict resolution than 'git status' gives me
during either a rebase or a merge as "Unmerged paths" anyway.

If this topic enhances 'git status' with the in-progress rebase
information, I'd view it as turning 'git status' from 'a more or
less useless command during rebase' to 'a useful command'.
