I do not think we are talking about the same thing.  In your
example, you perfectly well remember that you were in the middle
of StGIT operation.  The problem I described is that sometimes I
do not even recall if I was rebasing or merging after resolving
conflicts.  If I *knew* I was in the middle of a rebase, I know
where to look (.dotest/ has all the necessary "state" for
rebase/am to continue) to remind me where I was.
