If you do a "rebase -i" and don't change any commits, nothing is rewritten, and we have no REWRITTEN_LIST. The shell prints out an ugly message: $ GIT_EDITOR=true git rebase -i HEAD^ /path/to/git-rebase--interactive: 1: cannot open /path/to/repo/.git/rebase-merge/rewritten-list: No such file Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master. We can fix it by not running "notes copy" at all if nothing was rewritten.
