[BUG] Invalid rebase command leaves unclean status

The first command results in the creation of an empty .dotest-merge/output file which blocks any next attempt to do an interactive rebase until it is manually removed.

$ git rebase master -i Invalid branchname: -i $ git rebase -i master Interactive rebase already started $ ls .git/.dotest-merge/ output $ cat .git/.dotest-merge/output $ rm -r .git/.dotest-merge/ $ git rebase -i master <works>

This is with git version 1.5.3.5.

Cheers, Frans Pop
