So either your shell is producing that exit code for a different case,
or git is broken.
My shell is Debian /bin/dash 0.5.5.1-6.
Hmm, I can't reproduce here, and I am also using dash as my shell.

Unfortunately the error with rebase was some one-off thing that I
couldn't reproduce. I'm not even sure /what/ I did to make it happen.
OK. The code is _supposed_ to work as you expected, so if it happens
again, I guess try to reproduce and we'll go from there.
git-rebase must have exited with a code of 127. I tried every exit
code from 1 to 255, and 127 is the only one that does this:

$ head -n2 git-rebase
#!/bin/sh
exit 127

$ ./git rebase --continue
git: 'rebase' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean this?
