error: could not read '.git/rebase-apply/head-name': No such file or directory

Hello Git,

Next commands cause the error:

$ git pull
fatal: It seems that there is already a rebase-apply directory, and
I wonder if you are in the middle of another rebase.  If that is the
case, please try
        git rebase (--continue | --abort | --skip)
If that is not the case, please
        rm -fr ".git/rebase-apply"
and run me again.  I am stopping in case you still have something
valuable there.

$ git rebase --abort error: could not read '.git/rebase-apply/head-name': No such file or directory

$ git --version git version 2.20.1

$ rm -fr ".git/rebase-apply"

$ git rebase --abort error: could not read '.git/rebase-apply/head-name': No such file or directory

$ git pull

        git rebase (--continue | --abort | --skip)

I resolved this issue by git checkout -f some_br

But this issues should not occur

First thing to try is whether Git v2.23.0 still exposes that bug.
