[PATCH 0/2] Fix 2.26.0 rebase regression and documentation shortcoming

["Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This two commit series addresses two points raised by Peff about rebase
backend issues, in reverse order of what he reported. The first is a fix to
a regression in 2.26.0 (when 2.26.0-rc0 added the dropping of commits which
become empty, if the last commit in the series was the one that became empty
the rebase would complete without cleaning out state files), and the other
is just a documentation update about a backend difference that we were
previously unaware of.

The first patch is a one-line fix to the merge backend. The second patch
could probably do with a fix to the apply backend but I instead only updated
the documentation to note this issue in order to minimize the risk with the
2.26.0 release.
