They both refresh the index.

require_clean_work_tree(), called when starting a new rebase, will also
check if there are any unstaged or uncommitted changes, in which case we
do not want to start a rebase.

This is not what we want when resuming a rebase (with `rebase
--continue'), because the changes might be the result of a conflict
resolution.  In this case, the last commit is amended, and the rebase is
resumed.

Sorry.

For the first part of your comment, I added a comment at the beginning
of the message, although I did _not_ include an analysis on when
complete_action() is used.

get_replay_opts() converts a `struct rebase_options' (which contains the
arguments passed to `git rebase') into a `struct replay_opts' which can
be used by the sequencer, whereas read_populate_opts() loads the options
from the disk.

So, when are they written to the disk?  In do_interactive_rebase()
(builtin/rebase.c), after using get_replay_opts() to convert `opts' to
`replay', init_basic_state() is called, which calls write_basic_state(),
which write the options to the disk.

Then, until complete_action() is called, `opts' is not modified.

Near the end of complete_action(), the todo list is written to the disk.
 The destination is obtained with rebase_path_todo().

read_populate_todo() will read a file and parse it.  In the case of
`rebase -i', the location is obtained with rebase_path_todo(), and only
`total_nr' will be modified to contain the number of commands done and todo.

In the case of a new rebase, the done list might not be empty after
tajjimh skip_unnecessary_picks() from complete_action().  Skipped
commands are moved from the todo list to the done list.  As `total_nr'
is not changed by skip_unnecessary_picks(), it is also equal to the
number of commands remaining in the todo list and in the done list.  So,
when read_populate_todo() reads the list and the done list from the
disk, as they should not have been modified, `total_nr' should remain
the same, too.

The only thing that can change is the internal buffer (`buf'), because
skip_unnecessary_picks() don’t change it.  Since
ag/sequencer-reduce-rewriting-todo, it is no longer a textual
representation of the todo list.  Each command contains a pointer to a
location in the buffer and a length to represent its argument.
