Git commit path vs rebase path

I have noticed

git commit uses this path

.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG

git rebase uses this path

/home/Steven/jquery/.git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo

So git commit is using a relative path while git rebase is using absolute path.

This causes problem in Windows if your editor does not understand linux paths,
e.g. notepad, Notepad2, Notepad++, etc.
