[using v2.1.3] When using "rebase -i" and the working dir contains untracked files that are present in the new base, we correctly get a "would be overwritten by checkout" error, but then the whole rebase interrupts the (long) listing of the incriminated files in the middle of a line and terminates with: Aborting could not detach HEAD And consequently we are not rebasing any more, and the precious instruction sheet has been lost. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
