Indeed, I have been bitten by that several times, having worked heavily on applying patches at $dayjob for a while now. I have taken to habit to always do the same "rm -rf .git/rebase-apply" that you mention before doing anything involving am or rebase... > Or maybe we could just introduce a new "git am --clean" that just flushes > any old pending state (ie does that "clean_abort" thing, which is > basically just the "rm -rf" I've done by hand). That would be very helpful, as manually doing a "rm -rf" inside the .git directory does make me nervous each time I do it... -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/
