If after a failed "exec" instruction there are staged changes, before this patch, rebase --continue fails with this message, which is obviously wrong:
.../git-rebase--interactive: line 774: .../.git/rebase-merge/author-script: No such file or directory
We could try auto-amending HEAD, but this goes against the logic of .git/rebase-merge/author-script (see also the testcase 'auto-amend only edited commits after "edit"' in t3404-rebase-interactive.sh) to auto-amend something the user hasn't explicitely asked to edit.
Instead of doing anything automatically, detect the situation and give a clean error message. While we're there, also clarify the error message in case '. "$author_script"' fails, which now corresponds to really weird senario where the author script exists but can't be read.
Test-case-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> --- Here's my attempt at a patch. After noticing the existance of a test 'auto-amend only edited commits after "edit"', I'm convinced that auto-amending is not the right thing here.
