It was the second time I've typed "git rebase --co",
hit tab (for completion) and enter, and the result was
--committer-date-is-author-date instead of --continue .
Please do ask user before run actions like these! I have
not found a way to undo that. I had to perform a reset in
the repository.
PS: Notice I was expecting a command of interactive rebase,
and I got a bunch of commits's date (and hash) changed.
Cheers!

Do you know about the reflog? This let's you undo these kind of changes.
See git help reflog.

I didn't. This should be documented in rebase manual page.
Perhaps a message after the command might be interesting
(e.g.: "to undo use git reflog").
Thank you!

I meant confirmation for --committer-date-is-author-date
option.
As Thomas said, it should be possible to undo the action
using reflog, although this seems not as easy as it should
be yet.

The git rebase documentation has
ORIG_HEAD is set to point at the tip of the branch before the reset.
so doing
git reset ORIG_HEAD
does reset to the state before the rebase.
For avoiding the original problem of --co completing to
--committer-date-is-author-date I'm using the alias rc for git rebase
--continue.

That's pretty easy :-)

It's definetly an alternative. Anyway, ORIG_HEAD reset is
sufficient for the cases when enter is hit before noticing
the completion string.
Thank you!
