```
The first command results in the creation of an empty .dotest-merge/output 
file which blocks any next attempt to do an interactive rebase until it is 
manually removed.

$ git rebase master -i
Invalid branchname: -i
$ git rebase -i master
Interactive rebase already started
$ ls .git/.dotest-merge/
output
$ cat .git/.dotest-merge/output
$ rm -r .git/.dotest-merge/
$ git rebase -i master 
<works>

This is with git version 1.5.3.5.

Cheers,
