Expected behaviour:
- restore branch to pre-rebase location on out of memory exception

repository that could be fixed only after either:
--- a) msysgit would have x64 binary (currently it's not available)
--- b) rebase -m option could be used by default somehow (currently
it's not possible so specify default -m)
There are already some logic in "rebase" that will handles failures. And
in the case of failures, the behavior is that "rebase" will just stop
and not modify the branch. That allows you can go back to the pre-rebase
state by "rebase --abort".
In your case, it's possible that "rebase" is failing at unexpected
places, and the error wasn't caught. I tried a few simple cases by
forcing some commands to fail during a rebase, but I couldn't reproduce
the behavior that you're having. It might help if we can figure out
which part of "rebase" or "git" is failing (or running out of memory).
And since you're using msysgit, I guess another possible source of the
problem is be that msysgit is not catching the error properly, or not
relying the error back to git properly.
