    Did you mean this?
            rebase

Rebase failed, but the help mechanism seems to just test the exit
code, or something similar.

Which git version and which platform? There is code in run-command to
check for an exit code of 127 (which is what posix shells should produce
for a missing command), and to set ENOENT in that case, which is what
execv_dashed_external notices for a missing command.

So either your shell is producing that exit code for a different case,
or git is broken.
