I stumbled upon this behavior while working on some Git scripts. For these, I've prepared template repositories which I then copy and run the scripts on. This specific scenario in which I want to abort a revert in progress is, so far, the only scenario where this copying causes problems. All other Git commands I've used seem to simply ignore it or "refresh the index" on their own. For example, "git cherry-pick --abort" does not run into this problems for me.
