Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rebase: add --show-patch

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:55:20 +0700

It is useful to see the full patch while resolving conflicts in a
rebase. The only way to do it now is

    less .git/rebase-*/patch

which could turn out to be a lot longer to type [1] if you are in a
linked worktree, or not at top-dir. On top of that, an ordinary user
should not need to peek into .git directory. The new option is
provided to examine the patch.

[1] A conflict caused by git-rebase--am.sh does show the path to this
    patch file so you could copy/paste. But then after some time and
    lots of commands to resolve the conflict, that path is likely
    scrolled out of your terminal.
