Hi,
today I accidentally triggered a "fatal" using interactive rebase.

If you edit the instruction sheet after 'rebase -i' and add an unknown command, Git stops because it doesn't know the command. That's fine, however, now we are in a state where 'git status' fails with

interactive rebase in progress; onto 311f279 fatal: Could not open file .git/rebase-merge/done for reading: No such file or directory

After finishing the interactive rebase, things are fixed. Looks like a special case that isn't handled well, yet.

My Git version is the current 'next' branch.
