Hi,

I have large-ish repository (143 MB) where git rebase failed unexpectedly (see below). If anyone is interested in looking at this, I have left a copy of the repository at http://thorn.ws/git-fatal-rebase-error.tar.gz

When you have resolved this problem run "git rebase --continue". If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git rebase --skip". To restore the original branch and stop rebasing run "git rebase --abort".
