While we're at it, could we change the name so that it is .git/rebase, and 
not .dotest or .git/.dotest-merge?

Yes, I know, existing tools could rely on the location.  But then, I do 
not think that tools should be allowed to be _that_ married to particular 
implementations.  And indeed, I see no reason why a tool should access 
.dotest, except for accessing .dotest/patch, and then it will be very 
obvious where it fails.

But I don't know about QGit, StGit, etc...

Ciao,
