So I ran an interactive rebase, and while editing .git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo I tried to run `git status` in another terminal to inquire about a filename of an untracked file.

However, I got:

$ git status On branch submodule-groups-v3 fatal: Could not open file .git/rebase-merge/done for reading: No such file or directory

Was this behavior always the case? (IIRC it worked a long time ago?) Would it make sense to not abort completely but give a limited status?

Thanks, Stefan
