I think this is a bug because git create similar HEADs if you made merge 
or cherry-pick. I don't have problems with them.

Plus by git rebase docs on official site flag '--show-current-patch':
---
Show the current patch in an interactive rebase or when rebase is 
stopped because of conflicts. This is the equivalent of git show 
REBASE_HEAD.
---
For me it means that return patch only if rebase in progress - not 
aborted/not complete/have conflicts

Thanks for advice! I don't knew it.
