git-rebase --continue eats commits

Don't know if this has been resolved-by-debate here before, But if `git-rebase' finds a hitherto untracked file in the worktree, which it wants to create, it then aborts asking you to remove the file. So if you remove it and ask git to continue with `git-rebase --continue', it then deletes the commit that was being applied from the branch. ---Madhu
