A few weeks ago there was a bug report that some invalid commands
produced confusing error messages.  The fix could have made things
simpler.  There's no need for die_with_patch in this case, because its
purpose is to tell rerere and a future rebase --continue about a
commit that we just attempted, and we didn't attempt any commit.  So
just use a plain "die" unconditionally.
