Thanks for filing this bug. As I say in my mails on the lists, I have
some work which makes `git-debrebase' about as fast as `git-debrebase
status'. On my laptop that is now about 3.4s rather than 77s on your
branch.
I can probably improve this by another factor of maybe 4 - how
worthwhile would that be ? I'd have to do some rework of the diffing
arrangements.
