No.

If at all, it should be in .git/rebase/, not in .git-dotest/.  Note that 
we have a different directory already for interactive rebase and rebase 
-m, .git/.dotest-merge/ (which could have been a better name, too).

But the consensus was that there might be scripts relying on the name of 
the directory, so we left it as-is, and did not even consolidate both 
versions into the same name.

So _if_ you still want to change it, you need a looooong-term switch-over 
plan.  For one, you _have_ to install a symbolic link in order not to 
break existing scripts, and remove it afterwards.

Ciao,
Dscho
