I'm trying to do an interactive rebase, and after editing the todo file, the git process just hangs.  I was doing that a lot Friday and it worked fine.
So I did the work manually using reset and cherry picking.  The reset gave a strange error:
   Deletion of directory 'compile.vc9' failed.  Should I try again?
This is a dialog box in gitk.  I suppose the interactive prompt of whatever sort is what messed up the rebase, and that would be a bug.  I don't know if it applies to the main line or msysgit only.
But, why would it be trying to delete a directory anyway?  That directory had changed files in it, but it was not created as part of any commit anywhere near here.
