OTOH the commit you did has been your HEAD for a moment, so it's
easily cherry-pickable from your reflog. So I'd go for the git rebase
--abort route, redo the rebase, and once done, then run git reflog and
find the commit that you want to get back, and cherry-pick it with its
proper reflog name: git cherry-pick HEAD@{nnn}.--
