What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) I tried to rebase a branch, say `master`, onto a commit that does not exist in my local repository, say `37b52f3b750b11b9ef60db118f737a66af3bf242`: `git rebase master 37b52f3b750b11b9ef60db118f737a66af3bf242` - The branch has to be valid (e.g. `git rebase foo 37b52f3b750b11b9ef60db118f737a66af3bf242` doesn’t reproduce the bug) - The commit SHA has to be a full SHA (e.g. `git rebase master 37b52f3b750b11b9ef60db118f737a66af3bf2 #42` doesn’t reproduce the bug) Repro "from scratch": ```zsh mkdir git-bug cd git-bug git init touch foo.txt git add foo.txt git commit -m 'Initial commit' git rebase master 37b52f3b750b11b9ef60db118f737a66af3bf242 ``` What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) Git either successfully applies the rebase or gives an error. What happened instead? (Actual behavior) ``` error: Could not read 37b52f3b750b11b9ef60db118f737a66af3bf242 fatal: Invalid symmetric difference expression b91ebd8a08983ed5c27a3946821be02a39f99b3c…37b52f3b750b11b9ef60db118f737a66af3bf242 ``` Git then instead gets « stuck » in rebase mode (i.e. a `.git/rebase-merge` directory exists), with the following visible effects: - `git status` kind of gets confused: ```bash $ git status On branch master git-rebase-todo is missing. No commands done. No commands remaining. You are currently editing a commit during a rebase. (use "git commit --amend" to amend the current commit) (use "git rebase --continue" once you are satisfied with your changes) nothing to commit, working tree clean ``` - powerlevel10k displays a `rebase-i` state - `git rebase --continue` and `git rebase --abort` fail: ```bash $ git rebase --continue error: could not open '.git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo': No such file or directory $ git rebase --abort fatal: unable to read tree 37b52f3b750b11b9ef60db118f737a66af3bf242 ``` This disappears by deleting the `.git/rebase-merge` directory. What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? I didn’t expect Git to stay stuck in rebase. After the failure in the `rebase` command, the `.git/rebase-merge` directory should be deleted.
