```
The test case shows a bug in 'rebase -p', but even if the bug were fixed
the test would fail because it did not ensure that the preconditions match
the postconditions that were checked. Insert the suitable 'git checkout'.

 Could it be that this bug existed since the test case was introduced
 in cddb42d2?

 (The bug in git-rebase has not been fixed since then, unfortunately.)

Yeah, looks like it was always broken.  I remember sanity checking
by removing the "-p", too, but that was probably before moving the
test to join the other -p tests.  Thanks for fixing it.
