fast-rebase: change assert() to BUG()
assert() can succinctly document expectations for the code, and do so in
a way that may be useful to future folks trying to refactor the code and
change basic assumptions; it allows them to more quickly find some
places where their violations of previous assumptions trips things up.
Unfortunately, assert() can surround a function call with important
side-effects, which is a huge mistake since some users will compile with
assertions disabled. I've had to debug such mistakes before in other
codebases, so I should know better. Luckily, this was only in test
code, but it's still very embarrassing. Change an assert() to an if
(...) BUG (...).
