Re: A call for better git-rebase messages

 It seems that I cannot create a .dotest directory, and I wonder if you
 are in the middle of patch application or another rebase.  If that is not
 the case, please rm -fr .dotest and run me again.  I am stopping in case
 you still have something valuable there.

Why we do not tell to run "git rebase --abort" here? I think the command
know that it is a middle of git-rebase, not the middle of git-am...

Does it?  At least the original author of the command does not
know if you did this:

	$ git am mbox
        ... ugh, conflicted.
	$ git rebase master
