Is that safe...?  Doesn't git-rebase also set ORIG_HEAD?

One of the first things rebase does is validating and resolving its
arguments. And that's happening before any actions that would touch
ORIG_HEAD.

Ah, I see.

Hmm, I guess using rebase --abort isn't a very good idea in this case
though... :-/

Kind of a shame, since it's nice being to just abort the whole operation
if it turns out you did something wrong and aren't sure how to recover.
