It probably would have, but he ran another "git rebase" immediately after hitting ctrl-C, not realizing that the interrupted one had left things in an odd state. I tried --abort after the fact and it said there was no rebase in progress; I assume the second rebase wiped out the temporary state from the first one.

However, all's well; Shawn's suggestion of using the reflog worked fine. We were able to reset back to HEAD@{3 hours ago} then do the rebase again, and it did the right thing. Even though we had a filesystem snapshot to fall back on, needless to say we were very happy to see there was a way to recover using nothing but git commands.

Hooray for the reflog being turned on by default!
