Re: git interactive rebase bug?

I've been experiencing a very annoying bug when performing interactive
rebases. The rebase process will stall after I close the editor, and I
have to kill the process and then restart the rebase using "git rebase
--continue"

I am not sure how to debug this further. Suggestions are welcome. It
is an intermittent issue, so it doesn't always happen but it seems to
happen fairly often (at least every other attempt).

It appears to only occur after an interactive rebase, with an editor is closed.

Note, I have this problem when using the latest of next branch,
haven't had it in the past when using the latest released version, so
I think it's a rather recent regression.

Platform, editor, terminal emulator, specifics?

I have been on Ubuntu, coming over ssh, running "screen" as the
terminal enumlator, displaying on Gnome terminal, and my editor is
"emacsclient -c" to an instance of Emacs in the screen session.  I
primarily run a version that is a bit ahead of 'next' (unless it is
very close to the feature release, in which case I tend to run
'master') and haven't noticed anything new that is strange.

I run ssh to a tmux terminal emulator and run vim, I normally see this
when my local client is a windows machine running putty. After I close
the editor it just hangs. and I have to Ctrl-C to get it to go. I
suppose it could be an issue with vim or similar.

I never noticed the problem with the same setup when I wasn't using
the next branch. Tomorrow I will have some time to try out the 2.5.x
tag and maybe see if I can bisect if it doesn't have an issue. I can
try 3-4 rebase interactive attempts it usually shows up pretty fast.
What bothers me is that it's not 100% reproducible.

I'll follow up with more detail tomorrow.
