Package: git Version: 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy1 Severity: normal I keep running into "git rebase -i" errors on Debian wheezy. In most cases, "git rebase --abort" and trying again works around the problem. This is what it looks like:
$ git rebase -i REMOTE/BRANCH [detached HEAD XXXXXXX] MESSAGE1 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) fatal: Unable to create '[..]/.git/index.lock': File exists. If no other git process is currently running, this probably means a git process crashed in this repository earlier. Make sure no other git process is running and remove the file manually to continue. Could not apply YYYYYYY...
