If after a failed "exec" instruction there are staged changes, before this patch, rebase --continue fails with this message, which is obviously wrong: .../git-rebase--interactive: line 774: .../.git/rebase-merge/author-script: No such file or directory We could try auto-amending HEAD, but this goes against the logic of .git/rebase-merge/author-script (see also the testcase 'auto-amend only edited commits after "edit"' in t3404-rebase-interactive.sh) to auto-amend something the user hasn't explicitely asked to edit. Instead of doing anything automatically, detect the situation and give a clean error message. While we're there, also clarify the error message in case '. "$author_script"' fails, which now corresponds to really weird senario where the author script exists but can't be read.
