1900909 - elm_rebase.sh should restore the patch-stack prior to calling verify_vendoring

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: WebRTC, defect, P2)

Description

[Michael Froman [:mjf]]

There are 2 cases to consider:

1. On starting elm_rebase.sh, we should restore/verify the patch-stack to make sure that no late fix-commits need to be added to the patch-stack. If not done, this can make the guidance presented at the end of the rebase process incorrect.
2. We can run into a case where mozilla-central has changes from cherry-picked patches that add no-op-cherry-pick-msg files, but following the guidance at the end of the rebase deletes those files because they were not present in the state directory. Restoring the patch-stack will make sure those files are in the state directory in case the ending guidance requires saving the patch-stack.
