repository stuck in Rebase w/merge [message #1232789]

I started a rebase-on-top-of operation in eGit. Something went wrong - no idea why; a message popped up telling me: 'Wrong Repository State: REBASING_MERGE'

Now whatever I try to do - aborting or completing the rebase, or trying to check out another branch - I keep getting this message, and nothing else happens. I tried google, but was unable to find anything relevant to this situation.

I hope someone can tell me how to get my repository unstuck!

Using the latest nightly build may help. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=425742

Thanks for the suggestion.

For now I have made a full restore from my backup, and redid the work that was lost, to get me unstuck.

The problem has not yet returned, but I intend to make an extra backup before performing a rebase in the future.

- Which egit version are you using ?
- Did you use rebase.autostash = true before ?
- Did you try to abort rebase ?
- Does your .git folder contain a directory "rebase-merge" ?

I am using Eclipse Indigo SR2, the egit version nr that I can find is 1.3.0.201202151440-r

I have no idea what 'rebase.autostash = true' means, and I wouldn't know if I used it

Quote:

Yes, I kept getting the same error popping up

Quote:

- Does your .git folder contain a directory "rebase-merge" ?

Yes, I kept a copy of the stuck repository - there is an (empty) 'rebase-merge' folder in there

1.3 is pretty old, the latest release is 3.2 so I'd recommend to upgrade.
Or do you have to stick to Indigo ?

1.3 doesn't support autostash so this is irrelevant here.

If you are sure you are not in the middle of a rebase operation it should be safe to delete the empty rebase-merge folder.
