rebase --apply: set ORIG_HEAD correctly

phillipwood · gitster · commit cd1528ef8ef9 · 2022-01-26T12:08:53.000-08:00
At the start of a rebase, ORIG_HEAD is updated to the tip of the
branch being rebased. Unfortunately reset_head() always uses the
current value of HEAD for this which is incorrect if the rebase is
started with "git rebase &lt;upstream&gt; &lt;branch&gt;" as in that case
ORIG_HEAD should be updated to &lt;branch&gt;. This only affects the "apply"
backend as the "merge" backend does not yet use reset_head() for the
initial checkout. Fix this by passing in orig_head when calling
reset_head() and add some regression tests.
