[PATCH v2 0/3] rebase --continue: remove .git/MERGE_MSG

Thanks for the comments on V1. I have expanded the commit message for the first patch to give a bit more context and reworded a couple of test descriptions in patch 2 as suggested by Elijah. Patch 3 is unchanged.

V1 Cover Letter:

If the user removes all the changes from the worktree without running git reset then rebase --continue leaves behind .git/MERGE_MSG which will then seed the message of the next commit. While working on this I noticed a couple of fixups for the test files I was adding to, I've cc'd Elijah in case my reasoning for patch 2 is off. Thanks to Victor for the bug report.
