The files $g/rebase-{merge,apply}/{head-name,msgnum,end} are not
guaranteed to exist.  When attempting to cat them, squelch the error
output to get rid of messages like these:

  cat: .git/rebase-merge/msgnum: No such file or directory
  cat: .git/rebase-merge/end: No such file or directory

Makes sense.

Just curious: when do those files don't exist?  When using an older
version of git with a newer prompt, obviously, but are there other
cases?

Thanks,
