Stealing from the link you sent: The typical use-case is starting a rebase, do something else, come bac= k the day after, run "git status" or make a new commit and wonder what in the world's going on. Which branch is being rebased is probably the most useful tidbit to help, but the target may help too. Ideally, I would have loved to see "rebasing master on origin/master", but the target ref name is not stored during rebase, so this patch writes "rebasing master on a78c8c98b" as a half-measure to remind future users of that potential improvement.
