Teach "am" and "rebase" to mark the original position with ORIG_HEAD
"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD, which makes it easy to go back to where you were before you inflict a major damage to your history and realize that you do not like the result at all. These days with reflog, we technically do not need to use ORIG_HEAD, but it is a handy way nevertheless. This teaches "am" and "rebase" (all forms --- the vanilla one that uses "am" as its backend, "-m" variant that cherry-picks, and "--interactive") to do the same. The original idea and a partial implementation to do this only for "rebase -m" was by Brian Gernhardt; this extends on his idea. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
