Re: [PATCH] rebase--interactive: don't enforce valid branch

Also I did't follow the code, but does it behave sanely when you say
"rebase --abort"?

Good question.  It turns out that both rebase and rebase -i will end
up on the commit specified by <branch>, whether it's a branch or not.
That might be the expected and desired behavior, though:

  [Starting on branch A]
  git rebase origin/B B
  git rebase --abort
  [HEAD is now a symref to B]

  [Starting on branch A]
  git rebase origin/B B^0
  git rebase --abort
  [HEAD is now detached at B^0]

Yup, that is what I would call "behave sanely".  Thanks for clarification.
