When working with huge repositories with a large number of branches, it is
all too easy to pick the wrong branch to rebase to. In that case, it can
take a long time for the `git rebase` call to even generate the mbox.
Kevin's patch is a visual indication when this is happening.
Instead of being puzzled by `git rebase` "hanging", the user will now see
that (.../21957) patch is generated and will have a chance to say "wait a
minute, *that* many patches? I think I meant a different branch".
And since format-patch generates the patches for `git rebase` (actually,
it generates an mbox that then has to be split again, but you get the
gist), it is format-patch that needs to output the progress.
Ciao,
dscho
