Err... "git rebase -i <base> <branch>"

Does not work, just checked:

    $ git rebase -i base branch
    /usr/local/bin/git-rebase--interactive: 482: cannot create /home/user/projects/tmp/.git/.dotest-merge/output: Directory nonexistent
    cat: /home/user/projects/tmp/.git/.dotest-merge/output: No such file or directory
    Invalid branchname: branch
