Taking a deeper look at the code, I'm wondering it would make more
sense to call wt_status_get_state(), which handles 'rebase' and
'bisect'. Is there a reason that you limited this check to only
'rebase'?

Looking at the code itself (rather than consulting only the patch), I
see that there are a couple more early returns leaking 'branch_name',
so they need to be handled, as well.
